Meadows had at least three meetings with special counsel Jack Smith's team in 2021.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has moved forward with confirming three senior military nominees who were blocked by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), including Gen. Eric Smith for Marine Corps commandant. Tuberville had been holding up more than 300 military nominations due to his objections to the Pentagon’s policy on travel for abortion care, but he implemented a combination of procedural and political gymnastics to force the Senate to confirm Gen. Eric Smith’s promotion to Marine Corps commandant. Despite this small break in the logjam, hundreds of other lower-ranking military officials are still waiting for Senate approval.
