chief of staff mark meadows. the texts are important because they appear to provide more evidence that trump s inner circle knew biden won the election. the texts in question show meadows joking about trump s election claims. referring to his son a lawyer having trouble proving trump s claims. in early december, meadows texted quote, my son found 12 obituaries and six other possibles depending on the voter roll accuracy. hirschmann said that sound more like it. maybe rudy can help him find the other 10 k. responding lol. such mockery of trump s claims was common place. quote, trump aides and other republican officials expressed deep skepticism or even openly mocked the election claims being publicly made by trump. the texts were sent about a month before trump s infamous january 2nd phone call with georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger, here s what meadows said on that call. for example, mr. secretary, i can tell you, you said there was only two dead people that wo
