Ginni Thomas, who attended a Trump rally on Jan. 6 and was in touch with an attorney pushing an effort to overturn the 2020 election results, will testify before the Jan. 6 panel today in a closed-door session.

at the Capitol that followed the rally. In the weeks leading up to the attack on the Capitol Thomas reached out to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, in text messages raising concerns about voter fraud. Legal challenges in several states alleging fraud in the 2020 election were all rejected by courts.

White House attorneys and counsels for then-Vice President Mike Pence pushed back against Eastman and other Trump allies' efforts to have Congress overturn the election results, saying it violated the Constitution and would be soundly rejected by the Supreme Court if the matter was ever argued there. The court refused to hear election challenges by Trump and his allies and Justice Thomas dissented, saying the justices should have heard the case.

After the publication of her communications with Meadows Thomas said she was willing to appear, and months of negotiations followed. The Jan. 6 committee was scheduled to hold its ninth and likely final investigative hearing this week, but postponed the public session due to Hurricane Ian. Chairman Bennie Thompson said he planned to announce a new date soon.

Empath_Coach_RR Ginni , lets overthrow the government, Thomas should be in jail and her husband fired!

All perfectly legal.

Of course it's closed door. Wouldn't want it to be made public just how much the wife of a SCotUS justice was involved in trying to overthrow Congress. 🙄

How does a 'nut' earn $700,000?

Disappointed in toadying word choice by npr here and on the radio. Mrs. Thomas was not under oath. She wasn’t “testifying” and she didn’t give “testimony.” Call it spitballing or storytelling, but don’t use the wrong word for what she wouldn’t swear to.

Why hasn’t Thomas been pulled from the bench and put behind bars. If I were to evade paying taxes, conspired to defraud the IRS, and lied on official government documents, I would be under the jail by now with no chance of finding the key.

Who gave you access to the hall to ambush her ?

Why closed door? Privilege?

Another.big fat nothing burger from the Dems.

It should be open session so all Americans can see how deep this conspiracy goes and her influence onthe SCOTUS.

Hopeful that closed door is a cell.

And then... nothing

She looks very arrogant. The thing is ppl like this think they are untouchable

They should make it public.

And she will lie.

How about adding that she's not under oath. Might as well be a twitter exchange. January6thCommitteeHearings

I am ready for fireworks of this ordeal…

This traitor needs to serve time!

one of the leaders of the campaign. Eastman, a conservative attorney, drafted a memo outlining a plan to reject the electoral votes in several states, and was an outside legal advisor to President Donald Trump in late 2020.

The supreme court is compromised! This waste of DNA, and her spouse, need to be investigated and removed from any positions of political power.

Didn't Thomas 'forget' to report $700,000 in income on a financial disclosure form? 🤣

There is nothing intellectual expected. Just a cult follower with extreme religious right beliefs

Attending a speech by the President and challenging election results through litigation is not illegal.

Closed session is such BS.

Just another example of the establishment left weaponizing their power against private citizens. And the leftists cheered…

And Alito says Americans should not question the legitimacy of SCOTUS.

Closed but leaky door, 😉😉

Ginni Thomas, traitor…

You mean like that time Al Gore hired attorneys to challenge the 2000 election?

Why close door? Such BS

Ginni! Ginni! Ginni!

She’ll probably plead the fifth!

She told the Trump team to pursue their case legally… how is that criminal?

Bullshit is is a closed door session but probably the only way that traitor would voluntarily speak to them. Anything that comes out of it though should be used to remove Clarence Thomas from SCOTUS

Lol 'Lock her up!'

so what? What was people who think the election was fake supposed to do? Nothing? They did what they felt was right. Their intent wasnt to harm.. but persecution of the regime in charge? is.

No deal; only prosecution
