the few weeks that meadows was cooperating with the committee, he turned over 9,000 pages of documents. so this 51-page report is just the committee s side of things. it doesn t seem like we re going to get mark meadows side as he is not cooperating, of course, the reason for this contempt referral. meadows attorney, however, released a letter and sent it to the committee saying in part, the contemplated referral would be contrary to law because a good faith invocation of executive privilege and testimonial immunity by a former senior official is not a violation of not cooperating. however, the committee has responded multiple times, including in their contempt report, saying you turned over 9,000 pages of documents. why is that not executive privilege and you coming to talk about those documents is executive privilege? they think it doesn t add up, so they plan to move forward,

meadows, he defied the subpoenas and is suing investigators in an attempt to withhold critical information under the guise of executive privilege. bring us up-to-date on what we can expect from this report? we expect the contempt report to come out any minute now, and that s because they have to give mark meadows 24 hours before that vote to hold him in contempt, and i am checking my phone to make sure we do not miss it during this hit. it will include some of the back and forth they have had to deal with with mark meadows, and they have been going at this for him for months now. he was in the first wave of a dozen or so subpoenas of high profile individuals back at the in october, i should say.
