'He's got the goods': Legal expert explains which Trump co-defendant he would want to flip
Defendant Trump might be sunk in his bid to ward off criminal guilt should his former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows flip in the Georgia.
That's the thinking of former federal prosecutor Paul Butler during an appearance on MSNBC's "The Reid Out."
Asked who he would want to try and flip to become a witness for the prosecution if he were trying the Fulton County Georgia case, Butler instantly came back with one name: Mark Meadows.
"He was the president's chief of staff, closer than anyone to Trump," he said.

Butler then took some swings at Meadows for being two-faced.
"He would be a lousy witness," said Butler, "He said one thing in his book and another thing under oath, but he's got the goods."
Meadows, it was learned back in late October by ABC News, sang as a witness to special counsel Jack Smith's federal criminal election subversion case, speaking to him three times, and one of them featured grand jury testimony.
The 45th president's last chief of staff reportedly disclosed to Smith and company that he made it crystal clear to his boss that post-2020 presidential election efforts to try and pursue allegations of widespread voting fraud were frivolous and that Trump was being "dishonest" with the public when he came out before the cameras after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020 to declare himself the victor.
