• The January 6 committee chair will seek an interview from Ginni Thomas, chair Rep. Bennie Thompson said.
  • Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was involved in efforts to overturn the election.
  • Committee vice chair Liz Cheney has reportedly opposed calling for Thomas to testify.

January 6 committee chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson told reporters on Thursday that the panel will “soon” seek an interview with conservative activist Ginni Thomas, the wife of conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

“We think it’s time that we, at some point, invite her to come talk to the committee,” he told Axios’ Andrew Solender. He also told other reporters that the subpoena would come “soon.”

The Washington Post previously reported that committee vice chair, Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, was opposed to seeking Thomas’s testimony. But an aide to Cheney told Politico that she agrees with the decision.

Thomas has recently come under scrutiny for her role in seeking to overturn the 2020 election, including emailing with Trump lawyer John Eastman and pressuring 29 state legislators in Arizona to overturn the state's 2020 election results.
