Jeff DiSantis, a spokesperson for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the investigation, confirmed Circuit Court Judge Edward W. Miller’s ruling, though he declined to comment further.
The former White House chief of staff had been litigating the subpoena in Pickens County, S.C., where he now lives. Willis had sought approval from the South Carolina judge to enforce the subpoena under laws generally requiring cooperation from state and county-level courts for criminal proceedings., which would prevent Willis from compelling his testimony. The subpoena had initially required Meadows to appear in August and set a deposition for Sept.
