North Carolina investigators to look into whether Mark Meadows committed voter fraud
CBSN
North Carolina's attorney general and state bureau of investigations are looking into whether Mark Meadows, former President Trump's chief of staff, committed voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The allegation of voter fraud emerged after the New Yorker reported that Meadows had registered to vote in 2020 with the address of a mobile home he neither lived in nor owned.
District Attorney Ashley Welch, who represents the area where the home is located, referred the case to North Carolina's Department of Justice's Special Prosecutions Section. Welch recused herself from investigating Meadows herself because he had contributed to her campaign and had appeared in advertisements on her behalf in 2014.
