- The January 6 House committee is looking at text messages between Ginni Thomas and Mark Meadows.
- Nearly 30 text messages from Nov. 2020 to Jan. 2021 were turned over as part of a subpoena on Meadows.
- SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas said his wife attended the pro-Trump rally on Jan. 6, 2021, but "played no role" in planning the siege.
The January 6 House select committee is investigating texts between Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, CNN and The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Nearly 30 text messages from November 2020 to January 2021 were turned over to the committee in response to a subpoena requesting that Meadows give the panel "both documents and your deposition testimony regarding these and other matters that are within the scope of the committee's activity."
In one message sent on November 10, 2020, shortly after Joe Biden was projected to win the election, Ginni Thomas wrote to Meadows: "Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!…You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America's constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History," per The Post report.
On November 24, 2020, Meadows wrote to Ginni Thomas, describing the election as "a fight of good versus evil."
"Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs," he wrote in the message, according to The Post. "Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC on it."
Clarence Thomas recently revealed that his wife, a conservative activist and Trump ally, attended the pro-Trump rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, CNN reported, but he said she "played no role" in planning the siege.
Though Ginni Thomas is actively involved in partisan politics, she told the Free Beacon that she and her husband "have our own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too."
Clarence doesn't discuss his work with me, and I don't involve him in my work," she said.
Meadows did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
