“These text messages leave no doubt, the White House knew exactly what was happening at the Capitol,” said Congresswoman Liz Cheney on Monday night at a meeting of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the Capitol. Cheney, the ranking Republican on the committee, read a series of text messages former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows received on Jan. 6. The committee voted unanimously to to refer Meadows for criminal contempt of Congress charges for refusing to cooperate with the investigation. We’ll talk about new evidence made public last night about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
