More damning details have emerged about Ginni Thomas’s efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. In the weeks following the election, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas sent a flurry of text messages to Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, urging him to take action to prevent a Biden victory. The messages included conspiracy theories about a stolen election popularized by the far-right QAnon movement. On November 10, after news outlets declared Joe Biden the winner, Thomas wrote to Meadows, “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!…You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.” In January of this year, the Supreme Court denied a request by Trump to block the release of White House documents around January 6. Only one justice dissented in the 8-1 ruling: Clarence Thomas.
In related news, the Supreme Court has declined to give any updates on the condition of Thomas, who was hospitalized last Friday with an unspecified infection. Thomas is 73 years old and the longest-serving justice on the Supreme Court.
