Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows has reportedly met with special counsel Jack Smith's office at least three times after receiving immunity in the ongoing investigation.

At least one such meeting took place before a federal grand jury, ABC News reported, citing "sources familiar with the matter." Meadows reportedly told prosecutors that he told Trump multiple times that his claims of election fraud in the 2020 election lacked merit.

The former North Carolina lawmaker has also faced legal scrutiny in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's election probe against Trump. He was among the 18 co-defendants whom Willis charged in August with violating the state's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

Meadows has not been charged in Smith's case, which is one of two cases he has brought against the former president. The other involves his alleged mishandling of classified materials.

Drawing particularly scrutiny of Meadows was his involvement in setting up a now-infamous call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump insisted that he legitimately won the Peach State.
