Ginni Thomas Repeatedly Texted Trump Chief of Staff in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More damning details have emerged about Ginni Thomas's efforts to
overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss. In the weeks following the
election, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas sent a
flurry of text messages to Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, urging
him to take action to prevent a Biden victory. The messages included
conspiracy theories about a stolen election popularized by the far-right
QAnon movement. On November 10, after news outlets declared Joe Biden
the winner, Thomas wrote to Meadows, "Help This Great President stand
firm, Mark!!!…You are the leader, with him, who is standing for
America's constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows
Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History." In
January of this year, the Supreme Court denied a request by Trump to
block the release of White House documents around January 6. Only one
justice dissented in the 8-1 ruling: Clarence Thomas.

In related news, the Supreme Court has declined to give any updates on
the condition of Thomas, who was hospitalized last Friday with an
unspecified infection. Thomas is 73 years old and the longest-serving
justice on the Supreme Court.
