Mark Meadows to Newsmax: Jan. 6 Panel 'Leaked' Text Messages to Attack Trump
The Jan. 6 Select Committee "selectively leaked" the text messages given to it by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, he told
Newsmax on Monday, merely to spin a false narrative and attack former President Donald Trump.
"We've tried very hard, in [a] very transparent and accommodating way, to share non-privileged information," Meadows said on "
Rob Schmitt Tonight." "And what we found out tonight is that not only did that just get disregarded, but then they tried to weaponize text messages, selectively leaked them, to put out a narrative, quite frankly, that the president didn't act.
"And I can tell you this: The president did act."
"It's not about holding me in contempt," Meadows told host Rob Schmitt. "It's about coming after President Donald Trump, and sadly, that's what tonight's vote was all about."
"He's got to condemn this s**t ASAP; the Capitol Police tweet is not enough," Trump Jr. texted Meadows on Jan. 6, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., committee co-chair, said in
Monday's hearing on contempt charges.
"I'm pushing it hard, I agree," Meadows tweeted back to Trump Jr., Cheney told the panel before the vote.
Cheney added that Trump Jr. sent a number of messages to the chief of staff to urge further action from Trump during the chaotic events of the day.
"We need an Oval Office address," Trump Jr. also tweeted to Meadows, according to Cheney. "He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand."
