New Texts Reveals MTG texted Meadows about Trump asserting Martial Law

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused under oath on Friday that she couldn’t remember whether she’d privately suggested that former President Donald Trump invoke martial law to cling to power after the 2020 election.

But newly released texts between Greene and then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows might jog her memory.

CNN published on Monday a tranche of texts sent between Meadows and others that, CNN said, had been turned over to the House Jan. 6 Committee. The log revealed frantic and desperate conversations between the White House official and various Trump stooges, including Greene, between the November election and Jan. 21 last year.

The records showed that Greene texted Meadows on Jan. 17, 11 days after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, to raise the question of whether Trump might invoke martial law.

“In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall [sic] law. I don’t know about those things. I just wanted you to tell him,” Greene wrote. “They stole this election. We all know. They will destroy our country next. Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else!”

Revelations of Greene’s text come several days after the Georgia lawmaker, who’s currently facing a bid to get her disqualified from office for fueling the Jan. 6 insurrection, testified repeatedly that she did “not recall” whether she was involved in key elements of Trump’s election steal — including whether or not she’d advocated for him to declare martial law.

“Did you advocate President Trump to impose martial law as a way to remain in power?” one of the attorneys representing the disqualification effort asked on Friday.

“I do not recall,” Greene replied.

“So you’re not denying you did it?” the lawyer pressed.

“I don’t remember,” she said.
