investigate voter fraud claims. perry was the one who introduced clark to trump. he said mark, you should call jeff. i just got off the phone with him and he explained why the principal deputy won t work, especially with the fbi. they will view it as not having the authority to enforce what needs to be done. meadows responded, i got it. i think i understand. let me work on the deputy position. and perry replied, roger. just sent you something on signal. while the committee has access to these text messages, they do not have access to communication on apps like signal. that s why they have asked perry to come before the committee, something he hatz refused to do. meadows handedover these texts to the committee. they show meadows at the nexus of a campaign to prevent the stoinj certification of the election. the growing evidence about the role many republican members played in the attempts to
