Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the walls were closing in on former President Donald Trump while discussing ABC News reporting that former President Donald Trump’s last chief of staff Mark Meadows was granted immunity to testify under oath in the federal election interference case.
Schiff said, “I think it is very big news. In a way, it’s not surprising. People never expected Mark Meadows to be a Steve Bannon, you know, gleefully riding into jail on behalf of Donald Trump. That is not Mark Meadows. He never signed up to go to jail. He was carrying out Donald Trump’s dirty work every day, but self preservation has kicked in. And it appears he is cooperating. The challenge with him is he’s written a book which was touting all the Trump lies. He’s told a lot of the Trump lies himself, so he is not a perfect witness by any means.”
He continued, “But this is an important development. You add to it these other lawyers surrounding Trump, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Chesebros and others, and the walls start closing in on Donald Trump.”
Schiff added, “I think both Donald Trump needs to be worried about them providing state’s evidence, but also Rudy Giuliani needs to be concerned. These were a couple of his right-hand people. You know, it’s all cumulative.”
