Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows claims in a legal filing that the House select committee on January 6 is leaking the information he provided, namely text messages, in an attempt to “vilify” him in the media.
Meadows left the U.S. House to serve in the White House as Trump’s Chief of Staff at the beginning of 2020. Numerous text messages – both about the 2020 election and January 6 – have been released to the media through various means, including texts exchanged between Meadows and Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Now, Meadows and his lawyers accuse the committee of waging a “sustained media campaign” against Meadows, reports the Associated Press.
“The Congressional Defendants, under the auspices of a legitimate subpoena, induced Mr. Meadows to produce thousands of his private communications only to use them in a concerted and ongoing effort to vilify him publicly through the media,” wrote Meadows’ lawyer George Terwilliger in a motion filed Friday.
His lawyers also asked the judge to reject the committee’s request for a ruling that would require Meadows to provide more text message records. They say the former White House Chief of Staff deserves the opportunity for discovery, including to gather testimony contradicting the committee’s claims “that former President Donald Trump did not actually invoke executive privilege” over the subpoenaed materials.
Last year the U.S. House, controlled by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, voted to hold their former colleague Meadows in criminal contempt for refusing to comply with the subpoenas.
The Department of Justice has yet to determine whether they will move forward.
Meanwhile, Meadows has written a new book about his time in the White House, even as conservatives have asked hard questions about his apparent ties to the Humpty Dumpty Institute, a Chinese group that apparently seeks to form close […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
