WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection says the panel has asked Virginia Thomas for an interview. Thomas is suggesting she will comply. A conservative activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, “Ginni” Thomas communicated with people in President Donald Trump’s orbit ahead of the attack and on the day of the insurrection. Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson said Thursday that “it’s time” for her to come to talk to the committee after investigators discovered information that refers to Thomas in communications they have obtained relating to one of Trump’s lawyers, John Eastman.
