Jan. 6 Panel Sends Letter Asking Ginni Thomas To Testify

She acknowledged she attended the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally but left before Trump spoke and his supporters later stormed the Capitol.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol has asked Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, for an interview, the panel's chairman said Thursday afternoon.
Thomas, a conservative activist, communicated with people in President Donald Trump's orbit ahead of the attack and also on the day of the insurrection, when hundreds of Trump's supporters violently stormed the Capitol and interrupted the certification of Joe Biden's victory.
"We have sent Ms. Thomas a letter, asking her to come and talk to the committee," Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the panel, told reporters after a three-hour public hearing Thursday. He didn't specify a time or date for an interview.
