Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is urging Republican voters to abandon their support for Donald Trump, as recent developments suggest that Trump’s fate is sealed. The warning comes in the wake of news that Mark Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff and close associate, has turned against him by providing information about election fraud claims in exchange for immunity. Christie believes that Meadows’s testimony will be crucial in securing Trump’s conviction.
Speaking to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, Christie described Meadows as someone who was closely aligned with Trump throughout the 2020 campaign and beyond. Meadows has reportedly informed federal investigators, including special counsel Jack Smith’s team, that Trump was aware he was lying when he prematurely declared victory on election night. Despite Meadows’s cooperation, no evidence of election fraud has been presented.
Christie emphasized the significance of granting Meadows immunity, suggesting that it indicates the strength of the evidence he possesses. He also pointed out that Trump himself appears to be feeling the pressure, as evidenced by recent mistakes and verbal slips during his campaign events. Christie warned Republican voters to prepare for Trump’s courtroom appearance in March, where Meadows will testify against him, accusing Trump of committing crimes in his presence.
This development puts Trump’s political future in jeopardy, as Meadows’s testimony could be the final blow to his defense. With Christie’s message, it becomes clear that Trump’s support within the Republican Party is waning, and he may face significant consequences in the legal arena.
