News outlets revealed text messages that Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sent Mark Meadows shortly after the 2020 election. Meadows, who was White House chief of staff under Trump, turned over the messages along with other documents to the House’s Jan. 6 committee.
The messages show that Thomas pressed Meadows to take action on Trump’s false claims of election fraud. She rehashed many election falsehoods and made references to terminology and beliefs popular with the QAnon conspiracy theory.
The messages included references to an imaginary financial system, an alleged sting operation involving watermarked ballots, and Guantanamo Bay military tribunals.
Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, made a series of false and conspiratorial claims shortly after the 2020 election in text messages to Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, imploring him to press forward in an effort to overturn the election.
The Washington Post and CBS News first obtained copies of the text messages written by Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and reported on their contents March 24 after confirming them with five unnamed people who had seen them. Major media outlets have since corroborated the texts; CNN said it reviewed the messages, and the New York Times, NBC News and ABC News confirmed their authenticity through other unnamed sources.
