One of the recent revelations regarding the congressional committee’s probe into the Capitol insurrection is the involvement of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife, Ginni Thomas. GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger hinted over the weekend that the panel may request Ginni Thomas to testify before the panel.
Speaking with guest host John Dickerson on CBS “Face the Nation” Sunday, Kinzinger was pressed on the reports of the text messages exchanged between Ginni Thomas and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Kinzinger, who is one of the two Republicans serving on the committee, said he cannot answer whether the existence of the text messages between Ginny Thomas and Meadows is true or not.
“I can’t as a member of this committee confirm or deny the existence of those,” said the Illinois congressman. “We are going to in a methodical, fact-driven way to get the answers here. We’ll call in whoever we need to call in.”
“I think the bottom line for the committee is this: Was there an effort to overturn the legitimate election of the United States?” Kinzinger continued. “What was Jan. 6 in relation to that and what is the rot in our system that led to that and does it still exist today?”
When Dickerson pressed Kinzinger on whether the committee will subpoena Ginni Thomas, Kinzinger said that he wanted to make sure that the panel’s actions are not politically-driven. The Illinois lawmaker explained that the committee will look at the evidence and will come to a decision that the public will know about.
Should the committee decide to seek testimony from Ginni Thomas, New York Times justice reporter Katie Benner explained that the panel may have to go through a lot of obstacles. Benner explained that aside from the text messages, the committee may have to gather all the evidence it needs to be able to seek testimony from Ginni Thomas.
Benner went on to explain that there is also the situation with the Justice Department that was highlighted in the recent court filing from federal judge David Carter on the case regarding coup memo author John Eastman. Benner described the case as being “way bigger” than whether or not charges would be pressed against former President Donald Trump.
