Willis writes in the filing, which asks Meadows to testify on Sept. 27, that he is a material witness in the ongoing criminal investigation into several of his actions after the 2020 election.
Meadows sat in on a call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021, in which Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” the nearly 12,000 votes needed for Trump to win the state. Meadows also made a surprise appearance at a Cobb County location in December 2020, where officials were conducting an audit of absentee ballots.
In addition, Meadows contacted Justice Department officials to make “various allegations of voter fraud in Georgia and elsewhere and [request] that the Department of Justice conduct investigations into these allegations,” according to the new document.
CNN has reached out to Meadows’ attorney for comment.
Details of the new filing were first reported by Politico. Willis is also seeking testimony Sept. 22 from two others who spread misinformation about the election: Trump-connected attorney Sidney Powell and retired Army Col. James “Phil” Waldron, according to additional filings. court proceedings
Court filings seeking Powell’s testimony said she has “unique knowledge” of communications between her, Trump, the Trump campaign and others about efforts to influence the outcome of the 2020 election. It also notes that public reports have linked Powell to an effort in Georgia to obtain voting machine data.
As for Waldron, he also supported efforts to try to overturn the results of the presidential election and, according to a court filing, appeared before Georgia lawmakers in December 2020, where he testified about the “alleged vulnerabilities” in Dominion’s voting machines.
Willis is also seeking testimony from Trump ally Boris Epshteyn on Sept. 21 as he seeks more information about his alleged role in helping organize pro-Trump voter lists in battleground states that President Joe Biden won in 2020.
The judge overseeing the Georgia special grand jury signed off on Willis’ efforts to obtain testimony from Meadows, Powell, Waldron and Epshteyn, although the witnesses could still challenge any subpoenas to testify.
These latest court filings come at a critical time in the Willis investigation. Prosecutors in his office have spent months presenting evidence and testimony before a special grand jury formed to investigate the fallout from the 2020 election. The Atlanta-area investigation was launched after the call was revealed Trump’s phone call with Raffensperger.
“You and I heard that phone call. But I also have the advantage of having talked to a lot of witnesses and probably read more than most people would want to,” Willis told CNN earlier this year.
Last week, a prosecutor from the Fulton County District Attorney’s office informed Rudy Giuliani’s attorney that the former New York City mayor is the target of the investigation.
