For months, people in Mr. Trump’s orbit have been puzzled by and wary about the low profile kept by Mr. Meadows in the investigations.

As reports surfaced of one witness after another going into the grand jury or to be interviewed by federal investigators, Mr. Meadows has kept largely out of sight, and some of Mr. Trump’s advisers believe he could be a significant witness in the inquiries.

When they say “a significant witness in the inquiries”, I think they mean a significant witness against Trump. Which would be an interesting development.
The problem with this investigation is that Trump had sole power to declassify documents granted to him by the Constitution. It doesn’t specify how he must do it, just that he had the authority to do it. And that’s how this case will end in the Supreme Court.
But you know they are going to try and make it hell for him all the way to the final ruling.
