Ginni Thomas, Wife Of Clarence Thomas, 'Eager' To Meet With Jan. 6 Committee

Conservative activist Ginni Thomas, who is married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, will meet with the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, her attorney told CNN.

"As she has said from the outset, Mrs. Thomas is eager to answer the Committee's questions to clear up any misconceptions about her work relating to the 2020 election. She looks forward to that opportunity," Ginni Thomas' attorney Mark Paoletta said in a statement.

The committee expressed interest in speaking with Thomas after publication of text messages she exchanged with Trump's former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and state lawmakers about overturning the election.

The panel requested Thomas cooperate with questioning and provide documents relevant to the investigation.

Thomas exchanged 29 text messages with Meadows in which she urged him to fight to for Trump and those seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential elections.

Thomas also contacted Arizona and Wisconsin state lawmakers to overturn Biden's victory.

The committee previously obtained emails between Ginny Thomas and Trump's former election attorney John Eastman.

Ginny Thomas initially declined to appear before the committee. In June, her attorney told the committee that he did not "believe there is currently a sufficient basis to speak with" Ginny Thomas.

In July, Liz Cheney, vice chair of the House select committee, said the panel would subpoena Thomas if she refused to meet with investigators.

Thomas is expected to be interviewed by the House select committee in the coming weeks. The Jan. 6 hearings will resume on Sept. 28.
