Ginni Thomas pestered Trump to hire her allies and blamed the 'deep state' when they weren't

Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, lobbied former president Donald Trump in a bid to get her allies hired in the White House, a new report says.

Based on an interview with 14 sources close to Thomas, CNN in a report Sunday provided more details of her bid to secure influence in the Trump White House.

Her political activity has come under renewed scrutiny in recent weeks, with text messages obtained by the Jan 6 commission showing she contacted Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, to push conspiracy theories about Trump's defeat in the 2020 election.

The texts have led to calls for Thomas, a conservative justice, go recuse himself from cases relating to the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol — an attack that was fueled by election-fraud disinformation.
