Mark Meadows’s text messages from Jan. 6 made an explosive appearance in Congress even as he refuses to testify about the events of that day.
Representative Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican who is vice chair of the committee investigating the insurrection at the Capitol, read a selection of texts from Meadows’s phone just before the panel voted unanimously to recommend that the U.S. House hold former President Donald Trump’s last White House chief of staff in criminal contempt.
