The wife of a US Supreme Court judge repeatedly pressed Trump White House staff to overturn the 2020 presidential election, US media has reported.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Virginia Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, reportedly sent 29 text messages to former adviser Mark Meadows, urging him not to concede.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ms Thomas called Joe Biden’s victory “the greatest heist of our history”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The texts are among 2,320 messages Mr Meadows provided to a committee investigating the US Capitol riot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In the text messages, seen by\u00a0CBS News<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Washington Post<\/a>, she urged Mr Meadows, who was Donald Trump’s chief of staff, to “make a plan” in a bid to save his presidency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Do not concede. It takes time for the army who is gathering for his back”, she wrote on 6 November. It is unclear if Mr Meadows responded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ms Thomas also appeared to push QAnon conspiracy theories and urged Mr Meadows to appoint Sidney Powell, a conspiracy theorist and lawyer, to head up Mr Trump’s legal team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Sounds like Sidney and her team are getting inundated with evidence of fraud,” Ms Thomas wrote. “Release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Meadows told Ms Thomas that he intended to “stand firm” and said that he “will fight until there is no fight left”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Trump campaign later distanced itself from Ms Powell, after she made dramatic claims of voter fraud, without providing any evidence, at several media events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
