Then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows speaks with reporters outside the
White House, Monday, Oct. 26, 2020, in Washington, D.C.

AP

The House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol on
Thursday released slides from a PowerPoint calling for former President Trump to
declare a national security emergency in order to delay the certification of the
results of the 2020 election. The presentation, headlined was referred to in an
email provided to the committee by Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of
staff who’s had a rough couple of weeks, to say the least.

The revelation is the latest piece of evidence that Trump and his inner circle,
including his allies in Congress, were very actively and very aggressively
trying to overturn the results of the election, which Trump lost handily.

The PowerPoint presentation, which spanned 38 pages and was titled “Election
fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 JAN,” was part of an email sent on
Jan. 5, the day before the attack on the Capitol. The email pertained to a
briefing that was to be provided “on the hill.” Hugo Lowell of The Guardian
tweeted slides from the presentation on Thursday detailing a conspiracy
theory-laden plan for Vice President Pence to install Republican electors in
states “where fraud occurred,” and for Trump to declare a national emergency and
for all electronic voting to be rendered invalid, citing foreign “control” of
electronic voting systems.

In the 13 months since the election, no evidence has emerged that foreign
entities influenced the election, or that any significant fraud occurred.





The release of the PowerPoint slides laying out options to overthrow democracy
comes a day after the committee noted in a letter that Meadows had provided text
messages in which he discussed a “highly controversial” plan to overturn the
election results by appointing alternate electors in certain states. “I love
it,” Meadows replied to the idea, which was sent to him by a lawmaker. Meadows
discussed the same plan, which was described as a “direct and collateral
attack,” in a separate email. The letter referenced the PowerPoint presentation,
as well, but did not provide details of its contents.

The letter sent on Wednesday, which was addressed to Meadows’ attorney,
explained that the committee had “no choice” but to move to hold Meadows in
contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with his subpoena. How, if
Meadows is refusing to comply, did the committee get ahold of all of these
damning documents from the former chief of staff? Meadows last week reached an
agreement to cooperate, turned over the material, and then earlier this week
changed his mind and is now stonewalling the committee. He’s now suing the
committee in an attempt to block his subpoena.

It’s unclear what exactly inspired the reversal. Meadows says the committee was
not respecting his claims of executive privilege, to which Chairman Bennie
Thompson (D-Miss.) said the committee “tried repeatedly to identify with
specificity the areas of inquiry” were subject to privilege, but Meadows
wouldn’t cooperate. It’s also possible that Meadows decided to buck the
committee after reports began to circulate that Trump was pissed at him for
revealing a bunch of damning information about how the White House covered up
details of Trump’s bout with Covid last year. It’s also possible that Meadows
just isn’t very bright.

Regardless, the committee is now in possession of a trove of his documents
indicating the extent of Trumpworld’s very real efforts to overturn the election
results, efforts that culminated in a throng of supporters storming the Capitol
in a violent attack that resulted in five deaths and dozens of injured police
officers.

The material turned over by Meadows may be the tip of the iceberg. Committee
Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said last week that the committee is preparing to
hold “several weeks” worth of public hearings that will tell the story of the
riot at the Capitol in “vivid color.” She added on Thursday that the committee
has met with nearly 300 witnesses, that it is conducting multiple depositions
and interviews every week, and that it expects a ruling imminently on whether it
can obtain Trump’s White House documents. “The investigation is firing on all
cylinders,” she wrote.







Hours after Cheney teased an upcoming ruling on Trump’s executive privilege
claim, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals struck it down.
