New Details Emerge of Ginni Thomas’s Support of Trump Coup

HeadlineJun 13, 2022

The House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection is holding its second public hearing today. Witnesses scheduled to testify include Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien. Chris Stirewalt, a former top editor at Fox News, was scheduled to testify but canceled due to a family emergency. During its first hearing on Thursday, the panel accused Donald Trump of staging an attempted coup in an effort to overturn the 2020 election. Democracy Now! will be streaming today’s hearing at democracynow.org beginning at 10 a.m. ET.

In related developments, The Washington Post is reporting Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, pressed at least 29 Republican state lawmakers in Arizona to help overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

Meanwhile, Trump’s former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani is facing new ethics charges from the District of Columbia Bar for spreading lies about alleged voter fraud in an effort to overturn Biden’s election victory in the state of Pennsylvania.
