WASHINGTON (Reuters] – Marjorie Taylor Greene, U.S. representative was accused of “dubious” testimony at a recent court hearing.

A group of Georgia voters filed a court document Wednesday claiming that a CNN text message two days earlier cast doubt on Greene’s credibility. This supports their claim that Greene, the Republican first term congresswoman, should be removed from any future elections.

James Bopp (Greene’s lawyer) stated that Greene sent a 15-month-old text message to the court in which she was dishonestly distorted.

Greene sent Mark Meadows, then White House Chief Of Staff, a message on January 17, 2021. Meadows replied to Greene saying that some Republican lawmakers privately had suggested Trump declare martial law.

Greene wrote Meadows in his text message: “In private chat with just Members, many are saying that Trump should call Marshall (sic). law to save the Republic. These things I’m not privy to. Just wanted to let him know. They stole our election. All of us know this. We will be destroyed next. We need to tell Biden that he must declassify everything possible in order for us to pursue Biden, and all other defendants.

The text, according to Georgia voters undermines Greene’s testimony at Friday’s court hearing that Greene couldn’t recall if she ever supported martial law to allow Trump to remain in power.

The court filing stated that Greene’s statement at the hearing, “that she cannot remember discussing martial laws with anyone” was dubious. This text she sent to President Trump’s Chief Of Staff is even more remarkable because it appears like the type of message that would be remembered by a rational person who was truthfully testifying.

Bopp, Greene’s lawyer, stated that the congresswoman wasn’t advocating martial law but was simply informing Meadows regarding conversations she and her colleagues had.

“The text in itself is extremely innocuous, and it has very little consequence,” he stated.

A decision by an administrative judge will be made on Greene’s future inclusion on the ballot in early February.

In a new legal challenge, the voters say that Greene infringed a U.S. Constitution clause called the Insurrectionist Diqualification Clause. He supported an incendiary rally which preceded the U.S. Capitol attack last year.

Greene stated that disqualifying Greene would be a violation of her rights, and unfair to voters.
