Mark Meadows BURNED Evidence After Meeting With Election Deniers

According to testimony given to the January 6th Committee, Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows allegedly burned papers in his office after meeting with election deniers. If true, this is a direct violation of the Presidential Records Act, and Meadows could find himself in even more legal trouble than he is already facing. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

You know, about a week ago, a report came out, telling staffers of the members of the January 6th committee to be ready because a lot of bombshells are gonna come out prior to the beginning of the public hearings of the January 6th committee, which begin on June 8th. And we've already got the one really damning revelation. And that is that according to testimony in front of that, uh, committee Trump actually agreed with the people that entered the white house Chan or, or the capital, excuse me, chanting, hang Mike Pence. Trump said maybe Mike pin should be hanged. Okay. Horrible statement. By the way. I don't like Mike Pence at all, but I don't think he should be put to death. Another one has come out too. And this of course, once again, based on testimony given to the committee testimony, given by Cassidy Hutchinson who worked under Mark Meadows, when he was former president Donald Trump's chief of staff who told the panel, investigating the capital attack that she saw Meadows incinerate documents. After a meeting in his office with representative Scott Perry, a person familiar with the testimony, described it on condition of anonymity.

So Mark Meadows meets with Scott Perry. Who's in charge of the house, freedom caucus. They're talking about how to overturn the election. Scott Perry's been very vocal, believing he claims the election was stolen, even though it wasn't. So they meet Perry leaves. Meadows takes his little documents, his notes from the meeting and lights him on fire in his office. According to Cassidy Hutchinson, Hutchinson, the testimony that she gave to that January 6th committee. So this could be destruction of evidence. This could be a violation of the presidential records act because if they discussed anything involving Donald Trump or anything, that Meadows was then to go talk to Donald Trump about destroying these documents would run afoul of the presidential records act. Now just for a little bit of clarity with the presidential records act, if they did not discuss anything that Mark Meadows was not going to talk to Trump about, you know, then it's not a violation of the presidential records act, but any document or any other, you know, physical thing created that was to be discussed or presented to the president of the United States does fall under the presidential records act. So again, that one's a little iffy, iffy, excuse me, but, uh, destruction of evidence, eh, I think you pretty much got 'em on that, right? If, of course you determine that a crime was committed. So yes, there's some caveats there, but I think the big question is why did Mark Meadows feel the need to even burn it? I mean, burn it in his office. Of course, if this testimony is true and for the sake of

Argument, we're gonna assume it is right now. Why, why would you even burn it inside? Dude? Why not just put it like in a folder in your briefcase, in your backpack, whatever, take it home. Maybe check it on the fireplace, go put it on your grill, you know, use it to light some charcoal, something like that. Why burn it in, in a building? Didn't you think people would notice? Like it's something, something burning here. Oh, it's just me. You got some evidence I'm just trying to get rid like, Hmm. A little, little weird, but you know, it's mark meadow. So God only knows, but uh, this is a pretty big revelation. And what I love about it is that it's not going to be the only one we're going to continue getting these bombshell revelations per the committee itself. What they told their staffers between now and June 8th. This one may not be quite as, you know, salacious as the president being okay with the vice president being murdered. But this one potentially points to a crime committed by Donald Trump's chief of staff. And that's not something that should be taken lightly.
