Mark Meadows, the former Trump White House chief of staff, really wants to make a federal case out of his indictment in Fulton County, Georgia.
Meadows wants out of the Fulton County court so badly that on Monday, he took the enormous risk of testifying in his own criminal trial and subjecting himself to cross-examination by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.
