JUST IN: Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows files a lawsuit against the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol just hours after the House panel said it plans to move forward with contempt proceedings against him.
The committee was scheduled to hold a deposition with Meadows on Wednesday, but he was not expected to show up. Before serving in the Trump White House, Meadows was a House lawmaker from 2013 until March 2020.
"They also feature a text exchange in January 2021 between Meadows and an organizer of the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally on the White House Ellipse as well as text messages about the next for former President Donald Trump to issue a public statement that could have stopped the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol," Thompson wrote.
