The panel said it was in receipt of "dozens of text messages" between Hannity and key Trump White House figures in the days and weeks surrounding Jan. 6, including messages between Hannity and then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. "He can't mention the election again"A text message from Hannity to Meadows had already been publicly revealed. "These text messages leave no doubt," Cheney said last month, referencing the messages reviewed by the committee. Jordan, an Ohio Republican and longtime Trump acolyte, has also received a request to address the Democratic-led House committee.
