Virginia Thomas Texts Reveal Role in Attempts to Overturn 2020 Election

Some 29 texts between Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, obtained by the investigating congressional committee,  represent the first evidence that she was directly advising the White House as it sought to overturn the election in the weeks between the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, reports the New York Times. Thomas has actively opposed the Jan. 6 committee and its work, co-signing a letter in December calling for House Republicans to expel Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from their conference for joining the committee. Meanwhile her husband was released from hospital Friday after treatment for an unidentified “infection.”
