...but it's likely the immunity is limited, and most importantly, less about his personal jeopardy, and more about compelling his testimony.
A grant of immunity would keep him from withholding testimony and other information to investigators by claiming under the 5th that it might incriminate him.

Caution: there is a big difference between a defendant who flips/cooperates & one who testifies because they're essentially forced to by a grant of immunity. Meadows sounds like the later.

(21,670 posts)Mark Meadows is not cooperating, he was given immunity to compel him to testify before a grand jury.
There are 2 types of immunity, the one most likely given to Meadows was that he can't be indicted based on his testimony.
