North Carolina won’t charge former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows with voter fraud

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows will not face prosecution in North Carolina over allegations that he may have committed voter fraud there.

A New Yorker report from March of this year alleged that Meadows may have “potentially commit[ted] voter fraud” by listing on a voter registration form a North Carolina address at which he apparently did not live. 

In a statement on Friday, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein said the state “conducted an extensive investigation into the fraud allegations against Mr. and Mrs. Meadows concerning their registration and voting in the 2020 elections.” 

“After a thorough review, my office has concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to bring charges against either of them in this matter,” the statement said.

“If further information relevant to the allegations of voter fraud comes to light in any subsequent investigation or prosecution by authorities in other jurisdictions, we reserve the right to reopen this matter,” the statement added.
