In December, the House held Meadows in contempt of Congress and referred him to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. He initially engaged in negotiations with the panel and provided thousands of private text messages, but then filed suit against the select committee and Verizon to block a subpoena for his phone records. Meadows has refused to testify to the select committee investigating the pro-Trump siege since he was subpoenaed in September. “Americans are tired of the Democrat lies and the charades, but, sadly, it’s the only thing they have to offer.”Ī member of Meadows’ legal team, who declined to be named, told POLITICO that the account is “totally incorrect regarding Meadows.” An aide to Pence did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “This partisan committee’s vague ‘leaks,’ anonymous testimony, and willingness to alter evidence proves it’s just an extension of the Democrat smear campaign that has been exposed time and time again for being fabricated and dishonest,” he said. Reached for comment, Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich blasted the committee. All three people spoke on condition of anonymity. Two of the people who spoke for this story said the committee has heard testimony on this topic from more than one person. POLITICO could not independently verify the veracity of the claim regarding Meadows’ comments.
