Fmr. January 6 Cmte. Adviser: Mark Meadows Texts Provide 'Road Map' for the Committee
“I have to tell you this, when I first saw them, my bemusement turned into horror pretty quickly when I saw some of the language that was being used in there,” former congressman says
The text messages from one of Donald Trump's top White House aides are providing a “road map” to guide the bipartisan House select committee investigating the events surrounding the January 6 insurrection.
This is according to a former Republican congressman who also served as a senior advisor to the select committee.
The text messages from Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows are proving to be a trove for the panel and its investigation into the attempt by Trump supporters to thwart the legal and legitimate certification of Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.
These supporters were looking at any way possible to install Trump for an illegal second term in the Oval Office.
“I think, you know, my team was the first to actually see the Meadows text messages when we were able to link the numbers and the names together after we got the thousands of text messages. So, to look at it, it's almost a road map to what happened,” said Denver Riggleman, former Virginia congressman and one-time select committee advisor. “And a lot of the texts haven't come out. Thankfully, I think the committee is going to do a great job of linking those text messages to the other interviews and data that they have. But I think what people are going to understand about the Meadows text messages is how horrible they are.
“I have to tell you this, Anderson, when I first saw them, my bemusement turned into horror pretty quickly when I saw some of the language that was being used in there,” Riggleman added in an on-air interview with CNN host Anderson Cooper. “I actually had to get away from the computer a couple of times as I was looking at these text messages, and, you know, starting November 3, November 4, in the Meadows text messages all the way to the end, it is a road map.
“And I would have to say at this point, I think Mark Meadows is the MVP for the committee, I think they should pay him,” he said. “The data that we got from there actually allowed us to really structure an effective investigation.”
