We've known this for a while and the fact Meadows wasn't charged confirms this.

Knowing how tenacious Smith is, I don't think he let Meadows off without the full goods being shared. As in, there will be testimony from Meadows saying that Trump order him to gather classified materials that could be valuable to Trump. Maybe even Trump giving him a list of what he wanted.

Anbd make no mistake, Trump didn't write this list himself, he doesn't know the first thing about intelligence documents. Somone told him what would be the most sensitive and therefore valuable things to steal.

And I think we see Meadows take ths tand in the trial. People are acting like the indictment is a complete accouinting of the evidence, it isn't, it's just a basic framework and all of the supporting evidence is what will be presented at trial.

But all of that leads me to what I've been saying for a bit, I think Smith indicts Trump in other venues too. If Trump ordered Meadows to commit crimes at the White House, Smith has an indictment in the works in a DC court. If some of the crimes were at Bedminster, a New Jersey indictment is coming too. And these are just the stolen documents crimes, there will be a totally different indictment for Trump in DC for January 6th. Yes, I believe that Smith could be prosecuting 3 or 4 different cases against Trump in 3 or 4 different venues.
