Taylor Budowich, a former aide to former President Donald Trump who now leads the Super PAC, MAGA Inc., testified before a grand jury in Miami on Wednesday as part of special counsel Jack Smith’s ongoing probe into the handling of classified documents once Trump left office.

“Today, in what can only be described as a bogus and deeply troubling effort to use the power of government to “get” Trump, I fulfilled a legal obligation to testify in front a federal grand jury and I answered every question honestly,” Budowich tweeted.

His comments come amid media reports of a parade of high-profile witnesses testifying over the past few weeks before a grand jury in Florida. An attorney for Mark Meadows, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, declined late Tuesday to confirm whether he has been called to testify.
