REVEALED: As a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, White House chief of staff Meadows received text messages from multiple Fox News hosts and the president’s son, urging him to convince Trump to issue a statement condemning the violence

Among the documents described in the contempt report is a Jan. 5 email in which Meadows indicated that the National Guard would be present at the Capitol the following day to ‘‘protect pro-Trump people.”

in May, in which he described a conversation with Trump on Jan. 3 in which the president told him to "do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights." In addition to correspondence pertaining specifically to Jan. 6, the select committee also described several emails and text messages produced by Meadows that could shed new light on Trump’s attempt to undermine the 2020 election, including messages regarding encouraging Republican legislators in certain key states to send alternate slates of electors to Congress. Some of the messages highlighted in the report appear to reflect direct communication between Meadows and the former president.

Waldron told the Times that he did not personally email the PowerPoint to Meadows, but that it was possible Meadows received it from someone else on Waldron’s team., however, Waldron said he visited the White House multiple times after the election and spoke with Meadows “maybe eight to 10 times.”According to the Post, Waldron was a cybersecurity consultant who worked with Trump’s outside lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani, to challenge the election results in several key states.
