In a Reversal, Meadows Refuses to Cooperate With Jan. 6 Inquiry
The New York Times
The former White House chief of staff told the House panel scrutinizing the Capitol attack that he was no longer willing to be interviewed, reversing a commitment he made last week.
WASHINGTON — Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff under President Donald J. Trump, on Tuesday informed the committee scrutinizing the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol that he was no longer willing to cooperate with its investigation, reversing a deal he reached with the panel just last week to sit for an interview and provide documents.
“We now must decline the opportunity to appear voluntarily for a deposition,” Mr. Meadows’s lawyer, George J. Terwilliger III, wrote to the committee.
Instead, he proposed that Mr. Meadows answer questions in writing through what he called an “orderly process” that would create a “clear record of questions and related assertions of privilege.”
