Publisher Sues Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows For False Claims in Book about 2020 Election
All Seasons Press, publisher of "The Chief's Chief," seeks over $2 million in damages and a refund of Meadows's $350,000 advance for alleged falsehoods about the 2020 election in the book, following reports he cooperated with the Special Counsel investigating election interference.
- Former White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, is being sued by his publisher, All Seasons Press, for allegedly including false claims about the 2020 election in his book 'The Chief’s Chief'.
- The publisher seeks a refund of Meadows's $350,000 advance, along with $600,000 in additional compensatory damages for expense and $1 million in reputational damages.
- The lawsuit alleges that Meadows contradicted his book's statements during his reported cooperation with Special Counsel Jack Smith, in an alleged exchange for immunity, where he warned Trump that claims regarding a rigged 2020 election were baseless.
- According to the publisher, sales for 'The Chief's Chief' declined after reports emerged about Meadows’ deal with Smith, selling only 60,000 copies out of the first 200,000.
