Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is seeking reimbursement from the Justice Department for legal fees related to investigations into former President Trump. This request coincides with similar claims from Trump and others, including pardoned Jan. 6 rioters. Trump and his sons have also sued the IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax returns. Meadows, a key figure in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, was charged in state cases in Georgia and Arizona but was pardoned by Trump. Charges in Georgia were dropped, but Meadows still faces legal challenges in Arizona. The Justice Department evaluates reimbursement requests from current and former employees on a case-by-case basis. It remains unclear how much Meadows is seeking or if the Justice Department will approve his request.
