New details show extent of GOP effort to unwind Trump's loss

(The Hill) — Documents and texts stemming from the House investigation into Jan. 6, 2021, offer new details about the extent House Republicans, particularly members of the Freedom Caucus, were involved in plans to unwind the 2020 election - even as lawyers at the White House warned them their proposals could be illegal.

The content - released in the committee's court battle against Mark Meadows and in a trove of texts to the former chief of staff obtained by CNN - outlines a lengthy list of Republicans involved in conversations with the White House about planning for the rallies on Jan. 6 and efforts to oppose the certification of votes that day.

Taken together, the messages show how early the White House reached out to lawmakers in its effort to keep former President Donald Trump in office.

They also show a consistent effort by various members to strategize over how to keep Trump in office after his election loss.
