President's chief of staff knows is subject to a presidential privilege shielding it from disclosure. but it is also truth that not everything he knew or did during that period is privileged. mark meadows knows that. it's why he sent us the documents he did, and why he -- what made his book possible. that's why the law required him to show up for his deposition and specify in response to each question, what the answer was and whether or not that answer in fact was privileged from disclosure. his refusal to comply with the direction of congress stated plainly, on the face of the select committe...

Did not have before. and it also plays in to this larger argument that the committee is making about the need for meadows to come in and answer questions about what he knew about january 6th. and in furthermore, about how his knowledge of the events is not in anyway protected under executive privilege because a, he's offered up 6,000 documents, 9,000 pages worth of information, and he's written a book on the topic where he talks about his conversations with the president in and around that time. and so now he needs to fill in these gaps by coming and sitting in front of the committee for a ful...

Law. thank you mr. chairman. >> general lady yields back. the gentleman from illinois, mr. klingser. >> this is a near unique moment in history. s we vote on whether to hold a former colleague in contempt of congress. last time that happened was 1832. mark meadows has committed a crime in this case, a premeditated one. he thought carefully about his actions and actively chose to stone wall what you can clearly see in the back and forth with the select committee. first he produced over 9,000 pages of documents from his time in the white house. a after his former boss made it clear his i did app...

We are getting a comprehensive portrait of what took place on january 6th but mr. meadows' testimony is very significant for us. mr. chairman, the committee bent over backwards to accommodate mr. meadows' request. he has no intention of complying with the subpoena even when his testimony could have no theoretical connection to an executive privilege claim. for example, he categorically refusing to show up to testify about 9,000 pages of documents he already turned over to the committee, and for which he has thus nullified any hypothetical assertions of executive privilege. he is refusing to te...
