John Cornyn objects to scrutiny of Ginni Thomas' Jan. 6 involvement

By Josh Israel -March 29, 2022 12:19 PM

The Texas Republican said it's a 'bad development' that the public is paying attention to Thomas, a GOP operative who attended the Jan. 6, 2021, 'Stop the Steal' rally.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is defending Ginni Thomas, the conservative political operative and wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, as she comes under fire for her role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

On Monday, Cornyn told The Hill that the decision should be up to Thomas as to whether he should recuse himself from cases that could relate to his wife's efforts to cancel President Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump.

"I just think this is a bad development where now public officials' families are now the target of all this press," the Texas Republican told the outlet, adding that government officials "don't volunteer to have our families dragged through the mud.
