Conservative activist Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, will be interviewed by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, her lawyer said. The panel will reconvene for a hearing on Sept. 28.

Thomas’s willingness to testify comes as the committee is preparing to wrap up its work before the end of the year and is writing a final report laying out its findings about the U.S. Capitol insurrection. The panel announced Wednesday that it will reconvene for a hearing on Sept. 28, likely the last in a series of hearings that began this summer.

The extent of Thomas’ involvement ahead of the Capitol attack is unknown. In the days after The Associated Press and other news organizations called the presidential election for Biden, Thomas emailed two lawmakers in Arizona to urge them to choose “a clean slate of Electors” and “stand strong in the face of political and media pressure.” The AP obtained the emails earlier this year under the state’s open records law.

Thomas, a Trump supporter long active in conservative causes, has repeatedly maintained that her political activities posed no conflict of interest with the work of her husband. Justice Thomas was the lone dissenting voice when the Supreme Court ruled in January to allow a congressional committee access to presidential diaries, visitor logs, speech drafts and handwritten notes relating to the events of Jan. 6.

Does Clarence know? Since he seemingly doesn't know anything about what his own wife does.

Jan. 6 what a joke, anyone that thinks that was a 'insurrection' better buckle up.
