Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was questioned by a congressional panel about her involvement in spreading false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. In her deposition, she admitted she had no evidence of widespread fraud and was relying on "news reports" and "friends on the ground". When asked if she would have changed her position if she had known two years ago that Trump's campaign lawyers were aware there was no truth to the fraud claims, Thomas replied, "I don't know". She also confirmed her "best friend" was her husband, but objected to questions premised on the idea that she considers the election "stolen". Thomas stated she worried there was fraud and irregularities that distorted the election, but it wasn't uncovered in time, resulting in President Biden.
