Text messages show Meadows had direct contact with operative who was trying to seize

Meadows sometimes responded simply 'OK' when Phil Waldron, a retired Army colonel, would provide updates on far-fetched aspects of the election overturn effort. But Meadows wrote 'Pathetic' when Waldron updated him on an Arizona judge's decision to rule against a lawsuit demanding access to voting machines in a state carried by Joe Biden.


Waldron, an associate of fired and pardoned former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, is a retired Army colonel who owns a bar and became connected with Trump allies Rudy Giuliani and lawyer Sidney Powell after the election.

His theories pulled in such figures as the Chinese Communist Party, financier George Soros, and Dominion Voting Systems – which has sued a host of figures and media outlets claiming defamation.
 
House Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said last year when the panel subpoenaed Waldron that he 'reportedly played a role in promoting claims of election fraud and circulating potential strategies for challenging results of the 2020 election. He was also apparently in communication with officials in the Trump White House and in Congress discussing his theories in the weeks leading up to the January 6th attack.'

He calls the powerpoint presentation he circulated an 'alarming blueprint for overturning a nationwide election.'

It cited his public comments that he visited the White House eight to 10 times, and briefed lawmakers on election fraud theories.
