Virginia “Ginni” Thomas Admits No Evidence of Election Fraud in Congressional Panel Deposition

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was questioned this year by a congressional panel about her involvement in spreading false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. In the transcript of her deposition released Friday, Thomas admitted she had no evidence of widespread fraud and was relying on “news reports” and “friends on the ground” who visited polling places and “found things suspicious.” When asked by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) whether it would have swayed her position to know, two years ago, that Trump’s campaign lawyers were aware there was no truth to the fraud claims, Thomas replied, “I don’t know.” Thomas also confirmed that when she mentioned her “best friend” in her digital communications, she was referring to her husband. However, she and her lawyer objected to questions premised on the idea that she considers the election “stolen.” Thomas told Schiff, “I worried that there was fraud and irregularities that distorted the election but it wasn’t uncovered in a timely manner, so we have President Biden.”
