The good news is, Ginni Thomas finally agreed to Jan. 6 committee testimony. The bad news is, the right-wing activist isn't yet done with the Republican Party's Big Lie. -MaddowBlog
Conservative activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, told the House Jan. 6 committee Thursday that she still believes the 2020 election was stolen, the panel’s chairman said. Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., didn’t give many other details about the interview.
“Regarding the 2020 election, I did not speak with him at all about the details of my volunteer campaign activities. And I did not speak with him at all about the details of my post-election activities, which were minimal, in any event,” Thomas said in her statement. “I am certain I never spoke with him about any of the legal challenges to the 2020 election, as I was not involved with those challenges in any way.
According to her lawyer, Thomas “answered all of the committee’s questions” and told investigators about her “minimal and mainstream activity.”
