Subpoenas to Meadows and Pence. Eight secret court cases. The special counsel is not messing around

Special counsel Jack Smith and his team of federal prosecutors are very busy as they investigate Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 elections and his hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Mike Pence is preparing to fight their subpoena on the claim that he was acting as the president of the Senate on January 6 and is therefore protected by the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause. They’ve subpoenaed former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, setting up a likely fight over executive privilege. And aside from those things, CNN reports they are engaged in at least eight secret court cases.
