On Friday, the House committee probing the Capitol riot urged a federal court to execute its subpoena of former White House top staff, Mark Meadows, presenting new proof that the former White House chief of staff had received warning of possible violence ahead of the disturbance on Jan. 6, The Hill reports.
Meadows has furnished the House committee with certain records, including text conversations from a wide spectrum of Republicans in addition to Fox News personalities, which have now been made public as a result of the committee’s various activities and subpoenas.
However, the most recent submission begs the courts to dismiss Meadows’ legal arguments to the panel’s jurisdiction, laying out seven areas of investigation where the panel believes Meadows may disclose information notwithstanding his claims of executive privilege.
Meadows is portrayed in the court document as having a crucial role in former President Trump’s plans to stay in power after the 2020 election. Meadows was participating in these operations at both the state and national levels, according to the memo, and he stuck to his goals despite receiving intelligence indicating violence may occur on Jan. 6.
The filing’s exhibits also provide fresh information regarding the extent to which Republican legislators were involved in former President Trump’s efforts to stay in power.
Former special assistant to the president, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Meadows both testified.
Along with Meadows, Hutchinson listed a slew of other Republican members who met with Trump campaign counsel.
Jim Jordan, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, Matt Gaetz, Scott Perry, Jody Hice, Paul Gosar, and Debbie Lesko are among the Republicans that adhere to this group.
