Donald Trump’s Georgia corruption case co-defendant and former chief of staff Mark Meadows is being sued by his publishers over 2020 election theft claims he made in his book, court records show.
In a civil complaint filed Friday in a Florida court, All Seasons Press argues Meadows violated an agreement promising the accuracy of his book, “The Chief’s Chief,” in which he contends “the election was rigged."
“Meadows breached those warranties,” the complaint reads, “Neither he nor former President Trump actually believed such claims.”

All Seasons’s suit, first reported by The Hill, arrives on the heels of an ABC News report detailing Meadow’s agreement with Special Counsel Jack Smith to testify for a grand jury in exchange for immunity.
The publishers took umbrage with ABC’s reports that Meadows contradicted his election fraud claims in his testimony, court records show.
Specifically, they’d like Meadows to return his $350,000 advance, $600,000 in expenses and further cash for damages caused for a total of at least $1 million.
Meadows’ attorneys did not respond to the Hill’s requests for comment.
Meadows is not the only conservative author to find a home at All Seasons Press, a small firm founded by publishers formerly of Simon & Schuster, according to a 2021 press release.
Its writers include Rush Limbaugh’s producer Bo Snerdly and former Trump aide Peter Navarro.
“All Seasons Press ‘to take head-on the cancel culture’ decried by Trump’s advocates,” the press release reads. “The company is open to welcoming those authors who are being attacked, bullied, banned from social media, and, in some cases, outright rejected by politically correct publishers.”
