January 6 committee discussing possible subpoena for Justice Clarence Thomas' wife over texts with Mark Meadows, sources say
CBSN
Virginia Thomas' stunning exchanges with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows have the attention of the January 6 committee. Four people close to the committee told CBS News that several members want Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, who goes by Ginni, to talk to the committee and will issue a subpoena if necessary.
At least two committee members, the people said, were making private calls to colleagues on Friday, encouraging more discussion of a subpoena for Ginni Thomas. But there's not yet any consensus on the committee about whether to move forward, they said.
Committee members will return to Washington next week.
