Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows (D-N.Y.).
What are Trump‘s latest plans as the U.S. Senate begins impeachment hearings against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday (Feb. 9)?
Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows revealed new developments in Trump’s political plans to the public on Thursday (11).
Meadows said he spoke with Trump on Wednesday and Thursday, telling former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka in an interview that Trump “continues to put America first, and he plans to stay on stage.
“What America and 75 million voters want from Trump is not over, and not all that he has to do for the country is done.” He said.
Meadows, who was Trump’s last chief of staff, joined the Conservative Partnership Institute as a senior partner after he left office. Meadows has appeared on the floor of the Senate impeachment hearings during the impeachment hearings.
Over the past month, Trump has been uncharacteristically silent. His accounts on Twitter, Facebook and several other social media outlets have been deactivated, and Twitter announced this week that they are going to permanently block Trump even if he comes back out to campaign.
Trump met with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in late January and posted a high-profile photo of the two together. Trump’s former president’s office said that Trump will assist McCarthy in regaining the House majority from Democrats in 2022.
Other than that, Trump’s whereabouts and specific movements have not been in the public eye.
In January, House Democrats and 10 Republicans passed articles of impeachment accusing Trump of inciting violence and attacking Congress on Jan. 6.
Trump, through his lawyers, denied the charges and noted that Trump himself called on his supporters to make their voices heard “peacefully and patriotically” in a Jan. 6 speech that was deliberately ignored by Democrats and the media.
House Democrats, who have been debating impeachment in the Senate for two days this week, say the former president bears single responsibility for inciting the crowd that broke into the Capitol.
On Thursday evening, House impeachment representative Rep. Joe Neguse (D-N.Y.) called on senators to “convict” Trump. He said, “If you don’t, if we pretend this didn’t happen, or worse, if we let it go unresolved, who’s to say it won’t happen again?”
Trump’s lawyers began their impeachment debate arguments on Friday (12). They showed the full timeline of the day on Jan. 6 – Trump’s own full speech from the floor, the mob that began breaking into Congress 45 minutes before the end of Trump’s speech and how Democratic leaders glorified violence during last summer’s riots across America. The lawyer stressed that Trump’s Jan. 6 speech was protected by the First Amendment.
Meadows predicted the Senate will vote Friday night or Saturday, with impeachment ultimately ending in Trump’s acquittal.
Meadows plans to meet with members of the Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative House lawmakers, to discuss “exactly what the next step is to push back against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and everything she has in store for her friends on the liberal left. She has everything in place for her friends on the liberal left.”
Meadows has served as a North Carolina congressman in the past and led the Freedom Caucus.
Meadows revealed that another senior Trump White House adviser, Stephen Miller, who helped shape the immigration agenda, is getting a group of lawyers to prepare a lawsuit that will “oppose some of the radical executive orders coming out of the new administration. But he didn’t give any more details.
