Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court justice, emailed Trump lawyer John Eastman ahead of January 6, The Washington Post reports
"The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was corresponding with a Trump lawyer who drafted a memo detailing a plan for overturning the 2020 election, The Washington Post reported Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the congressional investigation into the January 6 insurrection.
Ginni Thomas, a right-wing activist, sent emails to lawyer John Eastman, The Post reported. The correspondence shows that Thomas's "efforts to overturn the election were more extensive than previously known," according to The Post, citing two sources speaking on the condition of anonymity. A spokesman for Rep. Bennie Thompson, co-chair of the committee, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In a memo previously obtained by Insider, Eastman — a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank, who spoke at The Ellipse ahead of the US Capitol riot — laid out a plan for what one legal expert described as a "coup cloaked in legal language," under which former Vice President Mike Pence would block the certification of President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. Pence declined and performed his duty to certify the 2020 presidential election and Biden's win."
