The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, urged two Arizona lawmakers to help reverse President Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory in the state, according to emails reviewed by ABC News -- suggesting that the conservative activist played a larger role in pushing to overturn the election than was previously publicly known.

Thomas, whose political activism following the 2020 election has faced growing scrutiny given her proximity to the Supreme Court, emailed Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers and Arizona State Rep. Shawnna Bolick in the days following the election in November, asking them to "fight back against fraud" and "do your Constitutional duty!" according to records.

The emails were obtained by ABC News on Friday through a records request to the Arizona House of Representatives. Their contents were first reported by The Washington Post.

"Please stand strong in the face of political and media pressure," Thomas wrote in separate emails to the two GOP lawmakers on Nov. 9, 2020. "Please reflect on the awesome authority granted to you by our constitution. And then please take action to ensure that a clean slate of electors is chosen for our state."

In another pair of emails to Bowers and Bolick, sent days later on Nov. 13, Thomas wrote, "As state lawmakers, you have the Constitutional power and authority to protect the integrity of our elections -- and we need you to exercise that power now!"

"Never before in our nation's history have our elections been so threatened by fraud and unconstitutional procedures," Thomas added, according to the emails.

Bolick, according to records reviewed by ABC News, replied to Thomas on Nov. 10, 2020, saying, "I hope you and Clarence are doing great!" and providing instructions on how to file a complaint for those who "experience voter fraud."

Bolick on Friday took to Twitter to fire back at news coverage of Thomas' emails.

"The dishonest media wants to distract attention from election fraud & our efforts to secure elections," she wrote. "Let's cut through the conjecture & put this to bed. Here is the public records request from Washington Post & my emails, which show me responding as I would to any constituent."

The emails reviewed by ABC News do not show any response from Bowers.

Reached by ABC News Friday, a spokesperson for Bowers, Andrew Wilder, said in a statement, "The emails appear to have been among the hundreds of thousands of messages sent to the Speaker's office during that period. Speaker Bowers did not see, much less read, the vast majority of those messages, including the form email sent by Mrs. Thomas."

Although a self-described Trump supporter, Bowers said following the election that he had seen no evidence of voter fraud. For his actions to protect election integrity in Arizona, Bowers this Sunday will receive the 2022 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, presented by the Kennedy Presidential Library Foundation, alongside four other recipients that include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Neither Thomas nor her attorney responded to a request for comment from ABC News.

A Fair And Honest Justice? I Think NOT!

The teaser at the start of Jonathan V. Last’s newsletter this morning was: “Guess which Supreme Court justice has lavish travel paid for by a billionaire but never discloses it?” Without hesitation, my first guess was Justice Clarence Thomas, and guess what? I was right! But even so, my jaw dropped when I read the extent to which Justice Thomas has been the recipient of lavish gifts and travel…

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack plans to seek testimony from conservative activist Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the panel’s chair said Thursday.

The Latest: Thomas told the Daily Caller she would agree to an interview. “I can’t wait to clear up misconceptions. I look forward to talking to them," she said.

Why It Matters: The decision comes after public and private wavering among committee members in recent weeks over the importance of Thomas’ role in Jan. 6 and former-President Trump’s efforts to overturn the election.

• Thomas played an active role in pushing then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to take measures to help overturn the 2020 election results, according to texts obtained by the Washington Post and CBS News.

• The Committee had reportedly been leaning against inviting Thomas to testify as recently as last month.

Driving The News: Emails obtained by the panel reveal correspondence between Thomas and legal scholar John Eastman, a central figure in former-President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

• Other emails, reported by the New York Times, reveal that Eastman messaged a pro-Trump lawyer claiming to have insight into a "heated fight" between Supreme Court justices over whether to hear an election case.

What They’re Saying: “We think it’s time that we, at some point, invite her to come talk to the Committee,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told Axios.

• Thompson said of the Committee's reasoning, "We have discovered in those Eastman [emails] some information that refers to Ginni Thomas," but declined to go into further detail about what she'll be asked.

• Asked when the invite will go out, Thompson said, "Soon."

What's Next: The panel's Thursday hearing will focus on Trump's efforts to pressure former-Vice President Mike Pence into unilaterally rejecting elect ors, based on a theory championed by Eastman.

Is The Teflon Wearing Out?

Even Teflon eventually gets old, wears out, and is no longer able to keep things from sticking. The former guy has long been referred to as “Teflon Don” because he has lied, cheated, and stolen for the entirety of his adult life, yet has never had to pay a price. In 2016 when he said, “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,” most of us scoffed…

also like I absolutely do understand why people don’t consider NOVA to be southern but at the same time every third street or building where I live seems to be named after either a confederate general or Thomas Jefferson.

#I literally live on a street named after a confederate general #if you throw a rock in Virginia as soon as it stops rolling they name it after Thomas Jefferson. lol

A Ghost Story for Christmas: The Treasure of Abbot Thomas (BBC, 1974)

"In what other parish church in the advowson of the good Abbot Thomas shall we find Bartholomew, Jude, Simon and Matthias all together in one window?"

"Not the 'good' Abbot Thomas, Peter. That was never suggested, not even by himself."

Um ok where to begin- Thomas Fairfax was a slave owner, slave trader, sex trafficer, rapist (literally raped his slaves, and called the women he raped “wenches”). Also I’m sorry I’m coming across as a bitch but it’s hard not to become a little hostile talking about something as appalling as this.

ahh i see what has happened. you are talking about the 6th lord fairfax, who was a slave owner in colonial america:

whereas i am talking about the 3rd lord fairfax, who was commander-in-chief of the parliamentary forces during the english civil war:

as you can see there is almost a century between them. i believe the 6th lord was the 3rd lord's first cousin once removed, or something along those lines. we are definitely in agreement that the 6th lord was a nasty piece of work though, i don't know much about him but what i have read makes me want to keep it that way!

#also i know it's an easy mistake to make and that you were understandably angry but if you are going to message someone like that i think #you owe it to the person to double-check that what you are saying is true #i guessed that this was what was going on (there are a lot of thomas lord fairfaxes after all and the 6th lord is probably better known #in some circles if only for fairfax county virginia) but it is still not pleasant to receive asks like that #i hope that reassures you though! very much different fairfaxes :-)#asks #rape mention
