Mark Meadows ordered to testify before grand jury in Georgia election probe#ReadFullMoonUpdatez#

A South Carolina judge ruled that Meadows must testify before the grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, which is investigating possible interference in the 2020 presidential election by then-President Donald Trump and his allies.

A South Carolina judge ruled Wednesday that former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows must testify before a special grand jury in Georgia investigating possible interference in the 2020 presidential election.

At a hearing Wednesday morning, Judge Edward Miller ruled that Meadows must comply with a petition seeking his testimony before the Fulton County grand jury, the clerk of court for Pickens County, S.C., told NBC News.

Meadows, who lives in South Carolina, has tried to avoid testifying before the grand jury probe into possible election interference by then-President Donald Trump and his allies. An attorney for Meadows did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has sought Meadows' testimony, saying he was in communication with Trump, his campaign “and other known and unknown individuals involved in the multistate, coordinated efforts to influence the results of the November 2020 elections in Georgia and elsewhere.” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney agreed to her request and had ordered Meadows to appear last month. 

A spokesperson for Willis said Meadows won’t appear before the grand jury until sometime after the midterm elections next month, as the investigation is in a “quiet period” around then.

Willis filed requests to compel testimonyfrom Meadows and attorney Sidney Powell in August, saying their “anticipated testimony is essential in that it is likely to reveal additional sources of information regarding the subject of this investigation.” 

In her petition, Willis said the grand jury’s investigation has found that Meadows “was involved in setting up” a call with Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, in which Trump was heard saying he wanted Raffensperger “to find” the votes needed to recoup his loss in the state.

Additionally, Meadows allegedly sent emails to Justice Department officials, including then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, making various allegations about voter fraud in Georgia and calling on the agency to conduct investigations, Willis said.#ReadFullMoonUpdatez#

Ghana already importing water – WRC’s Director of Planning

​ The Director of Planning at the Water Resources Commission, Dr. Bob Alfa says Ghana is already importing water. Speaking at the Citi TV’s Roundtable Discussion on Galamsey, Mr. Alfa said: “I hear people say all the time that if we don’t take time, we will soon import water. When we say Ghana is importing water, we often look at the physical importation but on the face of it, that is already happening. We are importing labour and tools into our water supply mechanisms.” “Whatever we consume is produced with water and if you don’t develop your water resources, and then you import some country’s products, what you are importing is what they have done as far as their water development is concerned,” he explained. He blamed the issue on the country’s lack of investment in its water resources. “We do not even invest in our water resources, we do not manage our water resources very well.” The Water Resources Commission (WRC) was established by an Act of Parliament (Act 522 of 1996) with the...

​ The Koforidua Technical Institute’s boys’ dormitory, located in the Eastern Region’s New Juaben North Municipality, has been completely destroyed by fire. Before National Fire Service workers controlled the blaze and stopped it from spreading to additional rooms, the fire that started on Monday at 11:45 p.m. raged across four rooms. 75 affected students lost everything they owned. One person was still being treated and discharged from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Koforidua after treatment for eight who had minor injuries.
