A text message Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis alleged Mark Meadows sent to a Georgia secretary of state official in December 2020 actually went to a different official in the office, Meadows said during a hearing on Monday.
Meadows, whom Willis charged this month in a sweeping indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 others, said the text message in question was sent not to Frances Watson, the secretary of state's lead 2020 investigator, but to Jordan Fuchs, according to the Washington Post.Fuchs's LinkedIn states that she has been serving as deputy secretary of state in Georgia since 2018.
Meadows had testified in the hearing for nearly three hours as of Monday afternoon, making the case that there existed a"federal nexus" in all of his actions assisting Trump in the aftermath of 2020 and that his case therefore qualified under federal statute to be tried in a federal court.
