Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has offered the most stunning revelations yet in the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Meadows, a former congressman with a reputation as a conservative disrupter, now faces possible prosecution for abruptly cutting off his cooperation with the House committee investigating the attack.

For Meadows, it's the latest chapter in a career defined by conflict in Washington.

Meadows was first elected to Congress after North Carolina's 11th Congressional District was redrawn in 2011, turning it decidedly red. The Democrat who held the seat, Heath Shuler, a former NFL quarterback, decided not to run for re-election.

It was Meadows who prevailed in an eight-person primary, and who ultimately won the seat.
