1. Ginni Thomas to J6: First, I want to thank the Committee for your patience as I recovered from hip replacement surgery.
2. Ginni Thomas to J6: Second, I am here voluntarily to answer questions about my activities regarding the 2020 election, which, I think you will find were minimal and mainstream.
3. Ginni Thomas to J6: However, as my counsel has expressed, I am concerned that there may be more than a few questions about my husband’s work, which I do not believe is within the scope of this committee’s jurisdiction.
4. Ginni Thomas to J6: Since I was the Nebraska College Republican Chair in my twenties, long before I met my husband in 1986, I have been active in political/public policy work.
5. Ginni Thomas to J6: Moreover, while I have a law degree, I am not licensed to practice law, nor have I ever practiced law, nor have I ever worked on any litigation at the Supreme Court or any court for that matter. I work only in the political lane."
6. Ginni Thomas to J6: As Justice Breyer said this last week, it is 2022 and women can have professional and separate careers from their judicial spouses.
Since he became a judge in 1990, my husband has only worked in the legal arena, not politics.
7. Ginni Thomas to J6: I can guarantee that my husband has never spoken with me about pending cases at the Court. It’s an iron-clad rule in our home.
8. Ginni Thomas to J6: Additionally, he is uninterested in politics. And I generally do not discuss with him my day-to-day work in politics, the topics I am working on, who I am calling, emailing, texting, or
9. Ginni Thomas to J6: Regarding the 2020 election, I did not speak with him at all about the details of my volunteer campaign activities. And I did not speak with him at all about the details of my post-election activities, which were minimal, in any event.
10. Ginni Thomas to J6: I am certain I never spoke with him about any of the legal challenges to the 2020 election, as I was not involved with those challenges in any way.
11. Ginni Thomas to J6: And I know he was completely unaware of my texts with Mark Meadows until this Committee leaked them to the press while he was in a hospital bed fighting an infection.
12. Ginni Thomas to J6: Let me also add, it is laughable for anyone who knows my husband to think I could influence his jurisprudence – the man is independent and stubborn, with strong character traits of independence and integrity.
13. Ginni Thomas to January 6 committee: I am now happy to answer questions.
