Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, who previously said that she “can’t wait” to be interviewed by members of the House Jan. 6 Committee, is now saying she is too stressed out to testify.
In a letter delivered by her lawyer, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence told the House Select Committee that she should not have to testify citing a “particularly stressful time” over reports about her role in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
“Before I can recommend that she meet with you, I am asking the Committee to provide a better justification for why Mrs. Thomas’s testimony is relevant to the Committee’s legislative purpose,” attorney Mark R. Paoletta wrote in the letter, according to The Daily Caller.
“I would also note that this has been a particularly stressful time as the Thomases have been subjected to an avalanche of death threats and other abuse by the unprecedented assault on the conservative Supreme Court Justices and their families,” The attorney added.
According to multiple reports, the committee has obtained text messages in which Thomas plots with then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
