As Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows played an instrumental role in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results that ultimately culminated in the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. Meadows and Ginni Thomas exchanged at least 29 text messages between November 2020 and January 2021 in which Thomas repeatedly encouraged Meadows to overturn the election results. Texts from Ginni included:
- “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!! … You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice…” (Meadows replied: “I will stand firm. We will fight until there is no fight left. Our country is too precious to give up on. Thanks for all you do.”)
- “…release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down”
- “Do not concede. It takes time for the army who is gathering for his back.”
America First Legal
Meadows is also the co-founder of America First Legal, a new right-wing litigation operation that has filed an amicus brief in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo.
