Virginia Thomas' stunning exchanges with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows have the attention of the January 6 committee. Four people close to the committee told CBS News that several members want Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, who goes by Ginni, to talk to the committee and will issue a subpoena if necessary.
At least two committee members, the people said, were making private calls to colleagues on Friday, encouraging more discussion of a subpoena for Ginni Thomas. But there's not yet any consensus on the committee about whether to move forward, they said.
Committee members will return to Washington next week.
The extraordinary text messages show her encouraging President Trump's top aide to fight to overturn the 2020 election. Citing Trump allies who were gathering evidence of alleged fraud, Thomas wrote Meadows on November 19, saying, "Make a plan...and save us from the left taking America down."
