Mark Meadows claims US Capitol attack panel leaked texts to ‘vilify’ him

Argument made in federal court filing in Washington, where Trump's chief of staff sued to invalidate subpoenas

Donald Trump's last White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, has accused the congressional committee investigating the US Capitol attack of leaking all the text messages he provided in what he says is an effort to vilify him publicly.

The argument was made in a filing on Friday in federal court in Washington, where Meadows sued in December to invalidate subpoenas issued for his testimony and to Verizon for his cellphone records.
