Trump chief of staff burned papers after 2020 election, Jan 6 committee told

Mark Meadows burned papers in his office after meeting with a House republican who was part of the effort to overthrow the results of the 2020 election, the January 6 committee has reportedly been told

In the testimony provided by one of Mr Meadow’s former aides, Cassidy Hutchinson, she confirmed that she saw the former top Trump official grab documents and light them on fire after taking a meeting with Republican Representative Scott Perry, according to a source familiar with the proceedings who spoke with Politico.

This arrives just a month after a transcript from the same aide, Ms Hutchinson, described how the former White House Chief of Staff had also received intelligence reports leading up to the January 6 riot forewarning of the potential for extreme violence on that day.
