The Washington Post previously reported that the committee had not sought an interview with Thomas and was leaning against pursuing her cooperation with its investigation. Last week, a federal judge ordered Eastman to turn more than 100 documents over to the committee. In January, the Supreme Court rejected a request by Trump to block the release of his White House records to the House committee investigating Jan. 6. Ginni Thomas did not immediately respond to requests for comment, nor did Eastman or his lawyer. Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter ordered Eastman to release numerous documents to the committee, rejecting privilege claims Eastman had asserted.
