On Tuesday night, the House of Representatives found Mark Meadows — Donald Trump’s former Chief of Staff — in contempt of Congress for failing to cooperate with its investigation of the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

When someone is found in contempt of Congress, the Department of Justice — which is run by the Attorney General — decides whether to prosecute.

Tell Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute Mark Meadows to the full extent of the law.

We learned a lot on Tuesday — including that Meadows was getting text messages from VIPs at Fox News, and from one of Trump’s own sons, as the attempted coup unfolded.
Funny, those same Fox News figures have spent a lot of time since January 6 telling us that the savage act of sedition we all saw with our own eyes was a peaceful protest and that any violence was a “false flag” operation by antifa or Black Lives Matter.

And they’ve doubled down on those lies, groveling at the feet of Trump and others who incited the insurrection and glorifying those who carried out the assault on the Capitol.

Not that it’s at all surprising to see still more evidence that Fox News is a shady hive of liars, sycophants, and opportunists.

The Trump gang has repeatedly ignored and stonewalled Congress. It’s (past) time to hold them accountable.

Add your name now to our petition urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute Mark Meadows to the full extent of the law.

Thanks for taking action.

For progress,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
