Supreme Court Will Allow House Jan. 6 Committee to Subpoena Arizona GOP Leader

HeadlineNov 15, 2022

The Supreme Court has paved the way for the House January 6 committee to subpoena the records of Kelli Ward, the chair of Arizona’s Republican Party, who played a key role in efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election. Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, dissented from Monday’s emergency ruling, without citing reasons. Clarence Thomas’s refusal to recuse himself from yet another January 6 ruling has led to renewed calls for his impeachment. Thomas’s wife, Ginni Thomas, is a far-right activist who played a key role in efforts to keep Donald Trump in the White House after he lost the election.
