An aide to former Vice President Mike Pence described former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows as the “ringleader” with much of the events that took place on Jan. 6, 2021.

Marc Short, Pence’s former chief of staff, said Meadows was “central” in efforts to overturn the 2020 election on Jan. 6. Though Meadows was not charged in the Justice Department’s federal case, he was charged alongside former President Trump with racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer in the Fulton County, Ga., election case.

    Mark was central to pulling together many of those who were, I think, whispering falsehoods into the president’s ear

    Ah, people whispering falsehoods into Trump’s ear. That describes anyone and everyone who has ever worked with Trump. Including Meadows, Pence, and Short. Including people assembled by Meadows and ones not assembled by Meadows.
