(CNN)Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows provided the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot with text messages and emails that show he was "exchanging with a wide range of individuals while the attack was underway," according to a source with knowledge of the communications.
The messages on Meadows' personal cell phone and email account, which were voluntarily handed over without any claim of executive privilege, relate to "what Donald Trump was doing and not doing during the riot," the source added.
These communications offer a window into what people were texting to Meadows on January 6, what he was telling them about Trump in real time, and what the former President was doing for those hours while the Capitol was under attack and rioters were chanting "Hang Mike Pence," according to the source.
While a handful of Trump loyalists have defied the committee, the source familiar with the investigation said there are "many people every week coming in to testify and produce documents." In some instances, "multiple people a day," appear before the committee, the source added.

(53,801 posts)Sounds like Meadows is trying to save his own ass, and to hell with trump.
His suit of the committee is probably an attempt to seem still loyal to trump, but he's already coughed up much info.

(5,591 posts)that Meadows worked a deal with the committee and gave them EVERYTHING but then allowed him to say he will now stop cooperating to keep the 'con' by the committee going? I just want this to end with the total downfall of the orange fat guy and his henchmen.
