Mark Meadows responds to potential contempt charges from January 6 committee: 'Fishing expedition'
Fox News
Mark Meadows responded on "The Ingraham Angle" Wednesday to an announcement from the leaders congress' January 6 committee that they would continue pursuing contempt of Congress charges against him
"Mr. Meadows’s flawed lawsuit won’t succeed at slowing down the Select Committee’s investigation or stopping us from getting the information we’re seeking," Thompson and Cheney said. "The Select Committee will meet next week to advance a report recommending that the House cite Mr. Meadows for contempt of Congress and refer him to the Department of Justice for prosecution."
On "The Ingraham Angle", host Laura Ingraham reported Meadows' suit calls on the courts to block "two overly broad and unduly burdensome subpoenas from the committee issued in whole or part without legal authority and in violation of the Constitution."
Meadows said that one of the subpoenas is against his telecommunications provider and is so overbroad, he could not determine a legislative reason for it.
