Mark Meadows

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has "recently renewed" his bid for the Department of Justice to reimburse his legal fees in probes tied to former President Donald Trump, his lawyer George Terwilliger says, after an earlier request to the Biden administration produced no result. Meadows is seeking federal coverage for work tied to Trump‑related investigations; he faces lingering legal exposure from state election matters (charges in Georgia were dropped, while an Arizona case remains pending), and the renewed request is directed to the DOJ in Washington as a post‑employment claim for defense costs incurred while he was serving in the Trump administration.
