Stephen Miller, Mark Meadows, Other Top Trump Aides Ordered to Testify in Jan. 6 Probe; Judge Rejects Claims of Executive Privilege
Mark Meadows, Stephen Miller, and other former top Trump aides tried to claim executive privilege (via Donald Trump’s legal team) to get out of Jack Smith’s subpoenas…. DENIED.
In a sealed order last week, Judge Beryl Howell rejected Trump’s claim of executive privilege for Meadows and a number of others, including Trump’s former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, his former national security adviser Robert O’Brien, former top aide Stephen Miller, and former deputy chief of staff and social media director Dan Scavino, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Former Trump aides Nick Luna and John McEntee, along with former top DHS official Ken Cuccinelli, were also included in the order, the sources said.
Trump is likely to appeal the ruling, according to sources briefed on the matter.
