During a segment of CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning, Rep. Liz Cheney told Jake Tapper that the Jan.6  committee is in talks with counsel for Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, regarding what they hope to be her voluntary participation in their ongoing investigation on what the committee's co-chair refers to as "her role in advocating to overturn the 2020 election results."

"We certainly hope that she will agree to come in voluntarily, but the committee is fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena if she does not. I hope it doesn't get to that. I hope she will come in voluntarily," Cheney said to CNN. "So it's very important for us to speak with her and as I said, I hope she will agree to do so voluntarily but I'm sure we will contemplate a subpoena if she won't."
