Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows hit back at the publisher of his book in a court filing seeking to dispel allegations he made contradictory comments about the winner of the 2020 election in print and in a closed-door hearing with special counsel Jack Smith.

In November 2023, All Seasons Press, a conservative publishing house, filed a lawsuit alleging Meadows engaged in “a clear and direct breach” of his contract by including Trumpworld allegations about electoral fraud in his memoir, “The Chief’s Chief,” which was released in December 2021. Under the terms of his book contract, Meadows made warranties that “all statements contained in the [Book] are true and based on reasonable research for accuracy,” the lawsuit notes.

In October 2023, an ABC News report citing anonymous sources claimed Meadows told Smith: “we didn’t win,” and otherwise agreed the 2020 presidential election was not fraudulent, and in fact the most secure in U.S. history, throughout at least three meetings, in exchange for immunity from criminal prosecution.

In a motion to dismiss filed late last week, Meadows said the basis of the lawsuit is “conjecture” that does not meet pleading standards.
