A text message Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis alleged Mark Meadows sent to a Georgia secretary of state official in December 2020 actually went to a different official in the office, Meadows said during a hearing on Monday.

Meadows, whom Willis charged this month in a sweeping indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 others, said the text message in question was sent not to Frances Watson, the secretary of state's lead 2020 investigator, but to Jordan Fuchs, according to the Washington Post.

MARK MEADOWS COURT HEARING IS FIRST BIG TEST FOR FANI WILLIS'S TRUMP RICO CASE

Fuchs's LinkedIn states that she has been serving as deputy secretary of state in Georgia since 2018.

Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, made the observation about the indictment's inaccuracy during a hearing on his request that Willis's two felony charges against him related to the 2020 election be removed from state to federal court.

Meadows had testified in the hearing for nearly three hours as of Monday afternoon, making the case that there existed a "federal nexus" in all of his actions assisting Trump in the aftermath of 2020 and that his case therefore qualified under federal statute to be tried in a federal court.

Willis has opposed the move, contending in court filings that if Meadows were acting in his federal capacity to help Trump with campaign matters, that would be a violation of the Hatch Act, which requires a separation of official duties and campaign duties.

In her indictment, Willis pointed to two actions Meadows made in Georgia after 2020, one being the text message and the other being his presence on a controversial phone call between Trump and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, that she said were part of an "interrelated" set of acts that amounted to a felony racketeering violation.

The text message, which Willis said was sent to Watson but Meadows said was actually sent to Fuchs, allegedly read, "Is there a way to speed up Fulton county signature verification in order to have results before Jan. 6 if the trump campaign assist financially?"

Meadows defended the text in the hearing on Monday, arguing that he sent the message without consulting with the Trump campaign and only to seek information that he could provide to Trump in his official capacity as Trump's top adviser, according to CNN.

Willis's office did not respond to a request for comment about the reported indictment error.
