Federal judge plans to rule 'quickly' on Mark Meadows fight against subpoenas from the House January 6 committee

(CNN)A federal judge could rule soon on former White House chief of staff Mark Meadow's legal challenge against subpoenas from the House select committee investigating January 6.
Judge Carl Nichols said he would issue a ruling "appropriately quickly."
At a hearing on Wednesday, Meadows' attorney, George Terwilliger III, argued that executive privilege extended to former aides to the president and that the subpoenas issued by the select committee were overly broad and violated Meadows' Fourth Amendment rights.

The House referred Meadows last year to the Justice Department for refusing to fully comply with subpoenas. But the DOJ declined to indict him and Dan Scavino, former deputy chief of staff to then-President Donald Trump, on criminal contempt of Congress charges.
The House's general counsel, Douglas Letter, told the judge that "Mr. Meadows has an obligation to answer questions" to the committee and that executive privilege, even if asserted during testimony, wouldn't cover everything the House committee wants to ask Meadows about.
Terwilliger praised Nichols outside the courthouse as "very knowledgeable," and said that Meadows' legal team would wait for a ruling before making any decisions on the future of the court case.
Congressional subpoenas are difficult to enforce, and the judge nodded to that point during arguments on Wednesday. But Letter said he was confident Meadows would comply if the judge let the subpoena stand.

"YOU GET A SUBPOENA, AND YOU GET A SUBPOENA..."


That big mouth cannon ball head Boris Epshteyn got his phone seized
:itsawrap: :lol:


Justice Dept. Issues 40 Subpoenas in a Week, Expanding Its Jan. 6 Inquiry
It also seized the phones of two top Trump advisers, a sign of an escalating investigation two months before the midterm elections.

WASHINGTON — Justice Department officials have seized the phones of two top advisers to former President Donald J. Trump and blanketed his aides with about 40 subpoenas in a substantial escalation of the investigation into his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, people familiar with the inquiry said on Monday.
The seizure of the phones, coupled with a widening effort to obtain information from those around Mr. Trump after the 2020 election, represent some of the most aggressive steps the department has taken thus far in its criminal investigation into the actions that led to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.
The extent of the investigation has come into focus in recent days, even though it has often been overshadowed by the government’s legal clash with Mr. Trump and his lawyers over a separate inquiry into the handling of presidential records, including highly classified materials, the former president kept at his residence in Florida, Mar-a-Lago.

Federal agents with court-authorized search warrants took phones last week from at least two people: Boris Epshteyn, an in-house counsel who helps coordinate Mr. Trump’s legal efforts, and Mike Roman, a campaign strategist who was the director of Election Day operations for the Trump campaign in 2020, people familiar with the investigation said.
Mr. Epshteyn and Mr. Roman have been linked to a critical element of Mr. Trump’s bid to hold onto power: the effort to name slates of electors pledged to Mr. Trump from swing states won by Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020 as part of a plan to block or delay congressional certification of Mr. Biden’s Electoral College victory.
Mr. Epshteyn and Mr. Roman did not respond to requests for comment. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.
The names of those receiving the latest round of subpoenas in the investigation related to Jan. 6 have dribbled out gradually, with investigators casting a wide net on a range of issues, including Mr. Trump’s postelection fund-raising and the so-called fake electors scheme.
One of the recipients, people familiar with the case said, was Dan Scavino, Mr. Trump’s former social media director who rose from working at a Trump-owned golf course to become one of his most loyal West Wing aides, and has remained an adviser since Mr. Trump left office. Stanley Woodward, one of Mr. Scavino’s lawyers, declined to comment.

Another was Bernard Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner. Mr. Kerik, who promoted baseless claims of voter fraud alongside his friend Rudolph W. Giuliani, was issued a subpoena by prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, his lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, said on Monday. Mr. Parlatore said his client had initially offered to grant an interview voluntarily.
The subpoenas seek information in connection with the fake electors plan.
For months, associates of Mr. Trump have received subpoenas related to other aspects of the investigations into his efforts to cling to power. But, in a new line of inquiry, some of the latest subpoenas focus on the activities of the Save America political action committee, the main political fund-raising conduit for Mr. Trump since he left office.

The fact that the Justice Department is now seeking information related to fund-raising comes as the House select committee examining the Jan. 6 attack has raised questions about money Mr. Trump solicited under the premise of fighting election fraud.
The new subpoenas encompass a wide variety of those in Mr. Trump’s orbit, from low-level aides to his most senior advisers.
The Justice Department has spent more than a year focused on investigating hundreds of rioters who were on the ground at the Capitol on Jan. 6. But this spring, they started issuing grand jury subpoenas to people like Ali Alexander, a prominent organizer with the pro-Trump Stop the Steal group, who helped plan the march to the Capitol after Mr. Trump gave a speech that day at the Ellipse near the White House.
While it remains unclear how many subpoenas had been issued in that early round, the information they sought was broad.
According to one subpoena obtained by The New York Times, they asked for any records or communications from people who organized, spoke at or provided security for Mr. Trump’s rally at the Ellipse. They also requested information about any members of the executive and legislative branches who may have taken part in planning or executing the rally, or tried to “obstruct, influence, impede or delay” the certification of the presidential election.

By early summer, the grand jury investigation had taken another turn as several subpoenas were issued to state lawmakers and state Republican officials allied with Mr. Trump who took part in a plan to create fake slates of pro-Trump electors in several key swing states that were actually won by Mr. Biden.

At least 20 of these subpoenas were sent out and sought information about, and communications with, several lawyers who took part in the fake elector scheme, including Mr. Giuliani and John Eastman.

Around the same time, federal investigators seized Mr. Eastman’s cellphone and the phone of another lawyer, Jeffrey Clark, whom Mr. Trump had sought at one point to install as the acting attorney general. Mr. Clark had his own role in the fake elector scheme: In December 2020, he helped draft a letter to Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, saying that the state’s election results had been marred by fraud and recommending that Mr. Kemp convene a special session of the Georgia Legislature to create a slate of pro-Trump electors.

At least some of the new subpoenas also requested all records that the recipient turned over to the House committee investigating Jan. 6, according to a person familiar with the matter.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell says the FBI seized his cellphone
Lindell, who is a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump and has promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, said he was stopped by FBI agents while going through a Hardee's drive-thru.

WASHINGTON — My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, who is a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump and has promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, said Tuesday that the FBI had seized his cellphone and asked him about a county clerk in Colorado who has been charged with election tampering in a security breach of her county's voting system last year.

Lindell said on his podcast, The Lindell Report, that he was stopped by FBI agents while going through a Hardee's drive-thru in Mankato, Minnesota.


"He goes, 'Well, I got some bad news.' I'm like, OK, here it comes, right? He goes, 'We're taking your cellphone. We have a warrant for your cellphone,'" Lindell said. "I said, 'My whole company, I run five companies off that. I don't have a computer, my hearing aids run off this, everything runs off my phone.'"

Lindell said the FBI agents asked him about Dominion voting machines used in Colorado's elections, as well as Tina Peters, the clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, and Doug Frank, an Ohio math teacher, who have also espoused 2020 election conspiracy theories.
Peters pleaded not guilty last week to charges of election tampering and official misconduct in connection with the security breach last year of Mesa County’s voting system. She is accused of allowing unauthorized people to break into the county’s election system in search of evidence supporting baseless election fraud theories espoused by Trump.


The reasons for the apparent seizure of Lindell's phone are unclear. In a statement, FBI spokeswoman Vikki Migoya said that while the agency wouldn't comment on the specific matter of the seizure, the FBI was "at that location executing a search warrant authorized by a federal judge."

Reached for comment by NBC News, Peters said that she has not received a subpoena from the Department of Justice, but that she did get one as part of a defamation lawsuit filed against Lindell by Eric Coomer, a former Dominion Voting Systems employee targeted by Lindell.

Trump, for his part, reacted to the situation on his Truth Social site Tuesday night, saying that Lindell had been "raided by the FBI."

"We are now officially living in a Weaponized Police State, Rigged Elections, and all," he wrote.

Hardee-har-har.

Fast-food chain Hardee’s seized on being included in headlines about the alleged confiscation of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s cell phone with an ad promoting something the bombastic businessman might enjoy.

“Now that you know we exist... you should really try our pillowy biscuits,” the chicken and burger joint tweeted Wednesday.



Lindell — a spirited conspiracy theorist who has worked tirelessly to prove the 2020 election lost by his pal Donald Trump was a hoax — claimed Tuesday night that feds took his cell phone outside a Minnesota Hardee’s.

US House Panel Receives Secret Service Text Messages from Jan. 6
  • Committee had been seeking texts or after-action reports
  • It’s unclear if messages include those believed to be erased
Text messages between Secret Service personnel on the day of US Capitol assault are included in a substantial tranche of additional material recently obtained by the House committee investigating the insurrection.

“It’s a combination of a number of text messages, radio traffic, that kind of thing. Thousands of exhibits,” Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat who chairs the committee, said Wednesday.

Representative Zoe Lofgren of California, another Democrat on the panel, described some of the records as “relevant” and worthwhile to the inquiry into events on and around Jan. 6, 2021.

Thompson said he could not yet describe what, if any, new information has been gleaned about that day. He also couldn’t say, at this point, whether any of the text messages -- which are primarily from Jan. 5 and 6 -- are among those previously believed to be missing or erased.

“We’ve got a number of staffers going through it all right now,” he said. “It’s a work in progress.”
The Secret Service press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


The Secret Service has been in the spotlight since former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified that she was told on the day of the insurrection that then-President Donald Trump exploded at Secret Service agents who refused to take him from a rally near the White House to the Capitol to join protesters.
The committee also has been digging into security concerns surrounding then-Vice President Mike Pence, who had gone to the Capitol to preside over the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. There was testimony that Pence disagreed with the Secret Service agents at the scene to get into his armored vehicle during the attack, fearing he’d be spirited away.


That raised questions about whether removing Pence might have figured in plans to interfere with the certification of Biden’s victory and, more generally, whether Trump may have somehow co-opted the agency.

Thompson announced in July it was subpoenaing the Secret Service for records upon learning some agency text messages from Jan. 5 and 6 were allegedly missing. Included in the subpoena were demands not only for texts and other data, but also “any after-action reports” issued “pertaining or relating in any way to the events of Jan. 6, 2021.”

The service acknowledged that some texts of 24 of its employees from Jan. 5 and 6 were erased despite federal laws requiring they be kept, but said it was an accident that occurred during a shift to new mobile phones. That occurred, despite at least two previous demands from Congress that it preserve material related to the attack.

An agency spokesman denied the missing texts had been deliberately erased. But the episode spawned calls for multiple investigations.

Exclusive: Mark Meadows complied with DOJ subpoena in January 6 probe

By Pamela Brown, Evan Perez, Jeremy Herb and Kristen Holmes, CNN

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has complied with a subpoena from the Justice Department’s investigation into events surrounding January 6, 2021, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN, making him the highest-ranking Trump official known to have responded to a subpoena in the federal investigation.

Meadows turned over the same materials he provided to the House select committee investigating the US Capitol attack, one source said, meeting the obligations of the Justice Department subpoena, which has not been previously reported.

Last year, Meadows turned over thousands of text messages and emails to the House committee, before he stopped cooperating. The texts he handed over, which CNN previously obtained, provided a window into his dealings at the White House, though he withheld hundreds of messages, citing executive privilege.
In addition to Trump’s former chief of staff, one of Meadows’ top deputies in the White House, Ben Williamson, also recently received a grand jury subpoena, another source familiar with the matter tells CNN. That subpoena was similar to what others in Trump’s orbit received. It asked for testimony and records relating to January 6 and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Williamson previously cooperated with the January 6 committee. He declined to comment to CNN.


Meadows’ compliance with the subpoena comes as the Justice Department has ramped up its investigation related to January 6, which now touches nearly every aspect of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss — including the fraudulent electors plot, efforts to push baseless election fraud claims and how money flowed to support these various efforts, CNN reported this week.

An attorney for Meadows declined comment. The Justice Department did not respond to CNN requests for comment.

Federal investigators have issued at least 30 subpoenas to individuals with connections to Trump, including top officials from his fundraising and former campaign operation.

As White House chief of staff, Meadows was in the middle of Trump’s efforts to overturn the election in the two months between Election Day and President Joe Biden’s inauguration. Meadows communicated with numerous officials who tried to find election fraud and pushed various schemes to try to overturn the election, according to text messages obtained by CNN that Meadows turned over to the House select committee. Meadows also shared baseless conspiracy theories with Justice Department leaders as Trump tried to enlist DOJ’s help in his push to claim the election was stolen from him.

After Meadows stopped cooperating with the House committee, Congress referred him to the Justice Department for contempt of Congress. DOJ declined to prosecute him for contempt earlier this year.

It’s not yet clear whether the Justice Department will seek more materials from Meadows as part of the ongoing criminal investigation, which could lead to a legal fight over executive privilege.

Following last month’s FBI search of Trump’s Florida residence and resort, Meadows handed over texts and emails to the National Archives that he had not previously turned over from his time in the administration, CNN previously reported. Last year, Meadows spoke with Trump about the documents he brought to Mar-a-Lago that the National Archives wanted returned.

Trump has been counseled to cut contact with Meadows, and some of Trump’s attorneys believe Meadows could also be in investigators’ crosshairs and are concerned he could become a fact witness if he’s pushed to cooperate, CNN reported last month. Still, Trump and Meadows have spoken a number of times, according to a source familiar with their relationship.

Another source described their relationship as “not the same as it once was” while in the White House, but said they still have maintained a relationship, even as Trump has complained about Meadows to others.

REVEALED..... DOJ searched Clark's home seeking evidence of obstruction, conspiracy and false statements

Jeffrey Clark told DC Bar that DOJ search of his home linked to false statements, conspiracy, obstruction investigation

210812114113-01-jeff-clark-file-2020.jpg

Then-acting Assistant US Attorney General Jeffrey Clark speaks next to then-Deputy US Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen at a news conference at the Justice Department on October 21, 2020, in Washington, DC.

CNN —
The Justice Department is investigating felony violations of false statements, conspiracy and obstruction as part of its January 6, 2021, probe that led to a recent search of former Trump administration official Jeffrey Clark’s home, according to an account of the criminal investigation made public Wednesday in a separate proceeding.

Clark’s legal team wrote that on June 20 “approximately a dozen armed agents of the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General executed a criminal search warrant at [Mr. Clark’s] home at around 7 a.m. and seized his electronic devices” as part of an investigation into violations of laws concerning false statements, conspiracy and obstruction, according to a report published Wednesday by a committee of the DC Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility.

This is the first time a document has named the specifics of what the Justice Department is considering as possible crimes, as it looks at the top circle of political players around then-President Donald Trump before January 6.

Separate from the criminal investigation – in which Clark has not been charged – the DC Bar’s disciplinary counsel brought an ethics complaint against Clark for the role he played in seeking to use his department to promote Trump’s bogus election fraud claims at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021.

The attorney discipline committee’s report released Wednesday quoted an assertion Clark made in a still-confidential filing where he discloses the details of the search of his home. He had argued to the ethics authorities that his proceedings there should be on hold while the DOJ and other authorities investigate him.
The Justice Department declined to comment to CNN.

Clark’s attorneys didn’t immediately respond to CNN’s requests Wednesday for more information about what they know.

His lawyers have said electronics were taken at the time of the June search of his Virginia home – and kept by investigators over the summer. Only some of those seized devices have been returned to him, on September 1, his lawyers wrote to the ethics committee earlier this month.

Clark has denied the accusations that he violated attorney ethics rules, writing in a September 8 answer to the charges that he hadn’t “harbored any scienter to act in a dishonest fashion for self gain or to achieve an illicit objective for former President Trump.”
Trump toyed with the idea of firing the Justice Department’s top leadership and installing Clark, after Clark tried to push the department toward questioning the former President’s election loss.

The disclosure comes as the broader federal investigation into events surrounding the aftermath of the 2020 election has escalated.

‘Every day feels like something else is piling on': Trump world bears down
The former president’s advisers fear that the DOJ probes are more expansive than publicly known.

90

The internet freak-out over Trump’s visit was a rare moment of levity and eye-rolling for a Trump world that has increasingly been consumed by legal problems.

When former President Donald Trump stepped off his private jet in the Washington, D.C., area on Sunday night, he set off a wave of social media hysteria.

Among the theories: He was turning himself in to the authorities or testifying in front of a grand jury. Some people wondered if he had a secret and sudden health scare, since he was still wearing what appeared to be white golf shoes, and being whisked off to Walter Reed.
In reality, Trump was checking on the status of his golf course in Sterling, Va. With his son, Eric Trump, Trump Organization staff, and the head groundskeeper, they made preparations for a possible future LIV golf tournament. While there, Trump had breakfast with Rep. Bryon Donalds, (R-Fla.). He posed for a photo with a smiling member of his congressional staff.

Former President Donald Trump gestures while playing golf at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., Sept. 13, 2022.

“I can tell you from a good source, the course was in good shape,” said Boris Epshteyn, an adviser to Trump, while on Steve Bannon’s War Room. “The mainstream media loves to degrade MAGA and talk about conspiracy theory this or that, or how MAGA is a bunch of kooks. The next thing you know they get one inkling and they’re writing about what kind of jacket the president is wearing or what shoes he has on. They have tin foil hats from here to Timbuktu.”

The internet freak-out over Trump’s visit was a rare moment of levity and eye-rolling for a Trump world that has increasingly been consumed by swirling legal problems that could threaten their collective future.

Trump’s allies and aides have been left angry and a bit shaken this week over the Department of Justice’s issuance of some 40 subpoenas targeting people in Trump’s inner orbit over their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and their connections to events on Jan. 6. Cell phones were confiscated from at least four people. A few trusted text chains among Trump vets were ignited with speculation about shoes soon to drop, while others went quiet.

“Every day feels like something else is piling on,” said one former Trump official.

Gone, for most in Trump World, was the bravado that this probe too would pass and that the 45th president would emerge stronger. Instead, there was growing anxiety about what could be next, as well as fears that those in the inner circle may flip on their friends to save themselves.

There is speculation that the scope of those targeted is much larger, with some close to Trump suggesting that the number of subpoenas issued is between 50 and 75. There is, in addition, growing fear that the very people who are being tasked to help deflect some of the legal heat that Trump is under for a variety of investigations — chief among them, his handling of classified material at his home in Mar-a-Lago — could potentially be in legal trouble themselves.

The ongoing legal battles have had a unifying effect among many in Trump’s base, and those close to Trump felt bolstered by the hiring of a more experienced legal team.

There have been elements of defiance, with some of the most important Trump figures — including his sons Don Jr. and Eric — charging that the legal pressure was due to a Democratic conspiracy that would backfire at the ballot box this November and in 2024. And Trump allies and some of those who were targeted by the subpoenas have continued to bang the drums, primarily on conservative media.

“I have no trust, confidence, anything with regards to the DOJ and FBI leadership,” said former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who was one of the dozens of Trump allies who received a subpoena, on Newsmax. “Based on the subpoena, based on the targeting of everyone around Trump, including his lawyers – they have targeted every single one of President Trump’s attorneys. That’s insane.”

Audio of Oath Keepers responding to a tweet from Donald Trump was released by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Listen: J6 releases evidence of how Oath Keepers reacted to Trump in real time on Jan. 6

"The Select Committee has obtained a recording of communications over a walkie-talkie app among Oath Keepers who were inside the Capitol and others who were sharing intelligence from elsewhere," the select committee announced on social media. "Listen to how they reacted to President Trump’s 2:38 tweet in real-time."

Trump's Twitter account was deleted when he was permanently suspended after the attack, but his messages were preserved by the American Presidency Project at the University of California Santa Barbara.

"Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement," Trump tweeted. "They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"

A person read the tweet over the walkie-talkie app.

Another person responded, "That's saying a lot by what he didn't say."

"He didn't say not to do anything to the congressmen," he added, with a laugh.

"Well, he did not ask them to stand down," another person noted. "He just said stand by the Capitol Police, they are on our side and they are good people. So, uh, it's getting real down there. I got it on TV and it's, it's looking pretty friggin radical to me."

"CNN said that Trump has egged this on, that he is egging it on and that he is watching the country burn two weeks before he leaves office," the man continued. "He is not leaving office, I don't give a sh*t what they say."

Another man reported they were inside the Capitol.

"We are in the main dome right now," the man said. "We are rocking it. They're throwing grenades, they're fricking' shooting people with paintballs, but we're here."

A man replied, "God bless and godspeed and keep going."

Micah Loewinger, a reporter at New York Public Radio's "On the Media," recorded the communications on an open channel named “Stop the Steal J6."

Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy defendants Jessica Watkins, Stewart Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, and Kenneth Harrelson have sought to exclude the Zello walkie-talkie app messages from being introduced at trial.

The official report and findings of the bipartisan Congressional investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and Donald Trump’s related coup conspiracies to overthrow the election, with an originally reported foreword by attorney and MSNBC anchor Ari Melber.
This official edition of the House Report breaks ground with new evidence, analysis, and primary sources, including quotes from newly released interviews. Only the entire, authoritative report—now a historical document—can capture the full range of plots that have been exposed over time, from the violent attack on January 6 to related efforts revealed months after the insurrection.
This is the only edition featuring an additional, independent, and newly reported foreword by a journalist and attorney with a front row seat to the committee’s work, MSNBC anchor Ari Melber. The Emmy-Award winning reporter has interviewed key players from members of the Committee to planners of the Jan. 6 rally (now cooperating witnesses) to Trump White House aide Peter Navarro (now indicted for defying the probe).
Melber’s contribution reveals that former President Trump’s plots comprised a continuous coup conspiracy, rather than planning for a “single day.” He exposes how that effort ranged from lawsuits to elector fraud to blatantly illegal efforts to overturn votes. In chilling detail, he shows how that process might have engineered a technical effort to “override” the election on the floor of Congress—an essential map, and warning, for those who wish to protect democracy. If the warnings are ignored, the failed coup may become a rehearsal.
This report is not only a vital document in modern American history, it can also inform efforts to protect the future of American democracy. As a matter of justice, bipartisanship, and even patriotism, this report may very well become essential reading for people intent on facing the next potential coup with a commitment to facts, accountability, and democracy.

Roger Stone is heard saying 'let's get right to the violence' in unearthed footage from 2020 election handed over to January 6 committee

In the footage, Stone is also heard saying "fuck voting" and "you see antifa, shoot to kill."

Former Trump adviser Roger Stone was shown calling for violence on the day before the 2020 election as seen in documentary footage obtained by CNN.

In clips previewed by the network, Stone and his associates are seated in a van returning home from a Doug Collins rally in Georgia on November 2, 2020, the day before the general election. In the car, Stone can be heard explaining his game plan to his colleagues.

"Fuck the voting, let's get right to the violence," Stone is heard saying. "Shoot to kill, you see an antifa — shoot to kill."

According to CNN, Danish filmmakers Christoffer Guldbrandsen and Frederik Marbell nestled with Stone for three years on and off in the process of their documentary. Some of their clips will be used by the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot, the outlet reported.

In another clip from election night, Stone can be heard telling his crew that even if Trump loses, "the key thing to do is to claim victory … No we won, sorry fuck you."

A spokesperson for Stone did not immediately return Insider's request for comment. In a statement shared with CNN, Stone claimed that the videos were doctored.

The January 6 committee is looking at the links between Stone and extremist groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, both of whom have had multiple members plead guilty to crimes committed on the day of the insurrection.

In December 2020, within the last month of the Trump presidency, the former president pardoned Stone, who had been convicted of multiple felonies in 2019. Before Trump's pardon, a jury found Stone guilty of seven felonies which included witness tampering, obstructing Robert Mueller's 2016 Russia investigation, and making false statements.

Former Trump adviser Roger Stone was shown calling for violence on the day before the 2020 election as seen in documentary footage obtained by CNN.

In clips previewed by the network, Stone and his associates are seated in a van returning home from a Doug Collins rally in Georgia on November 2, 2020, the day before the general election. In the car, Stone can be heard explaining his game plan to his colleagues.

"Fuck the voting, let's get right to the violence," Stone is heard saying. "Shoot to kill, you see an antifa — shoot to kill."

According to CNN, Danish filmmakers Christoffer Guldbrandsen and Frederik Marbell nestled with Stone for three years on and off in the process of their documentary. Some of their clips will be used by the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot, the outlet reported.

In another clip from election night, Stone can be heard telling his crew that even if Trump loses, "the key thing to do is to claim victory … No we won, sorry fuck you."

A spokesperson for Stone did not immediately return Insider's request for comment. In a statement shared with CNN, Stone claimed that the videos were doctored.

The January 6 committee is looking at the links between Stone and extremist groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, both of whom have had multiple members plead guilty to crimes committed on the day of the insurrection.

In December 2020, within the last month of the Trump presidency, the former president pardoned Stone, who had been convicted of multiple felonies in 2019. Before Trump's pardon, a jury found Stone guilty of seven felonies which included witness tampering, obstructing Robert Mueller's 2016 Russia investigation, and making false statements.

Ginni Thomas tells January 6 committee she didn’t discuss election activities with Justice Clarence Thomas

WashingtonCNN —
Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, stressed that her election activities were separate from her husband’s role on the high court during her Thursday meeting with the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

Thomas addressed her dynamic with her husband through a prepared statement at the onset of the four and a half hour meeting with the panel, two sources familiar told CNN.

“Regarding the 2020 election, I did not speak with him at all about the details of my volunteer campaign activities,” Thomas said under oath in her opening statement obtained by CNN. “And I did not speak with him at all about the details of my post-election activities, which were minimal, in any event. I am certain I never spoke with him about any of the legal challenges to the 2020 election, as I was not involved with those challenges in any way.”

Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, who chairs the January 6 committee, told CNN that Thomas answered “some questions” in her interview with the panel and reiterated her belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

“Yes,” the chairman said when asked if Thomas said she still believes the election was stolen. “She said that.”

Thompson would not divulge what the committee asked about, including whether she addressed her text messages with then-President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows. In her prepared remarks, Thomas asserted that her husband was “completely unaware” of her texts with Meadows until the media reported on them.

When asked if Thomas tried to clear up her previous statements, as her lawyer said, Thompson told CNN, “We didn’t accuse her of anything.”

Thompson said that overall, “at this point we are glad she came in.” And asked whether the panel will incorporate the interview into its next, currently unscheduled hearing, he said, “If there’s something of merit.”

When entering her voluntary interview on Thursday morning, Thomas declined to tell CNN why she felt the need to speak to the committee and instead said, “Thank you for being here.”

She declined to say whether she spoke with her husband about her beliefs that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. “Thank you for your question, I look forward to answering members,” she told CNN.

Thomas’ prepared remarks, however, stressed, “that my husband has never spoken with me about pending cases at the Court. It’s an iron clad rule in our home.”

“Additionally, [Justice Thomas] is uninterested in politics. And I generally do not discuss with him my day-to-day work in politics, the topics I am working on, who I am calling, emailing, texting, or meeting,” she added.

Thomas’ attorney, Mark Paoletta, confirmed the voluntary interview last week.

“She was happy to cooperate with the Committee to clear up the misconceptions about her activities surrounding the 2020 elections,” Paoletta said in a statement after Thursday’s interview. “As she has said from the outset, Mrs. Thomas had significant concerns about fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election. And, as she told the Committee, her minimal and mainstream activity focused on ensuring that reports of fraud and irregularities were investigated.”

Members of the panel have long said they are interested in speaking with Thomas, particularly after CNN first reported text messages she exchanged with Meadows prior to January 6 about overturning the election.

But in the months after those messages emerged, there had been little indication that compelling her to testify was a top priority for the panel despite subsequent evidence that Thomas also encouraged state lawmakers in Arizona and Wisconsin to overturn Joe Biden’s legitimate electoral win.

Thomas attended the rally that preceded the attack on the US Capitol, as she said in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon, where she stressed that her and her husband’s professional lives are kept separate. She also said that she had left the gathering before the protesters turned violent.

She has also been publicly critical of the House January 6 investigation, calling on House GOP leaders to boot from their conference the two Republicans serving on the select committee.

Thompson also told CNN that the panel had yet to reschedule its next hearing, after postponing it on Wednesday because of Hurricane Ian. The Mississippi Democrat said he doubts the hearing will take place next week.
