Описание к видео Mark Meadows lawsuit fighting Jan 6 subpoenas tossed by federal judge

A U.S. district court has thrown out former Trump administration chief of staff Mark Meadows's lawsuit against the House Jan. 6 Committee.

Meadows filed the lawsuits hoping to vacate two subpoenas issued for him last year to appear before the committee.
Judge Carl Nichols ruled that Meadows' case did not hold up in the face of the Constitution's "speech and debate" clause.

"[Meadows's] claims raise a number of unsettled questions, including whether a senior aide to a former President can be compelled to testify before Congress; whether a former President can validly assert executive privilege; and whether a sitting President may override a former President’s claim of privilege," Nichols wrote.
