Book Publisher Sues Ex-Trump Chief Of Staff Mark Meadows For 'Squarely' Contradicting Himself About 2020 Election

Conservative book publisher All Seasons Press has initiated a lawsuit against Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff, over alleged falsehoods made in his memoir, including a claim that former President Donald Trump was the legitimate winner of the 2020 election.

The lawsuit alleges that, in the memoir, Meadows argues extensively that Trump won the election — despite the fact that the former White House chief of staff later reportedly told Special Counsel Jack Smith that he had warned Trump against claiming a victory in the election, according to Insider. 

"Meadows' reported statements to the Special Prosecutor and/or his staff [sic] and his reported grand jury testimony squarely contradict the statements in his Book, one central theme of which is that President Trump was the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election and that election was 'stolen' and 'rigged' with the help from 'allies in the liberal media,'" the lawsuit states. 

According to Insider, All Seasons Press pulled the book "The Chief's Chief" from shelves on Thursday, asserting it was "ethically obliged" to do so.

The lawsuit also references earlier concerns about the memoir's accuracy, especially in regards to the former president's public denial that he tested positive for COVID-19 before his first debate with Biden, the outlet reported. 

All Seasons Press is seeking the return of the $350,000 advance it gave to Meadows and is pursuing damages of over $1 million in presumed lost profits, among other costs and legal fees.
