WASHINGTON — The House Jan. 6 committee plans to show in its fourth hearing Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s then-chief of staff Mark Meadows “had an intimate role ... in this plot to put pressure on (Georgia) state legislators and on elections officials,” Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the panel, told the Los Angeles Times in an interview.
Among other things, Schiff said the committee investigating the 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol will release new information about Meadows’ appearance at a key election meeting in Georgia and text messages revealing that he wanted to send autographed Make America Great Again hats to people conducting the audit.
Tuesday’s hearing is the select committee’s latest in a series that aims to demonstrate the former president’s role in the attack.
