The text messages obtained by CNN also showed that Greene reached out to Meadows on December 31, 2020, to discuss organizing objections to the election results certification by Congress, which occurred on January 6, 2021. It was not immediately clear which members of Congress Greene was referring to in her January 17 text message to Meadows. Greene also said that she didn't remember whether any other elected congressional representatives advocated martial law as a way to stop the transfer of power from Trump to Biden. She gave the same answer when asked whether she discussed martial law with any member of the White House staff who was part of the Trump administration. Green again responded that she didn't remember. She was asked if she ever discussed her "advocacy" for martial law during those meetings.

The topic came up again when she said she had meetings with Trump between the 2020 election and Biden's inauguration. Greene responded that she didn't remember. The lawyer questioning Greene asked her to clarify whether she was denying that she advocated for martial law or just couldn't remember. The first instance was when she was asked whether she ever pushed for Trump to impose martial law so he could remain in power, which she said she didn't recall. The topic of martial law came up several times during Greene's testimony Friday in a voters' group's lawsuit seeking to disqualify her from seeking reelection because of allegations that she facilitated the U.S. "Martial law" does not have an established definition, but it usually means the military is allowed "take the place of the civilian government and exercise jurisdiction over civilians in a particular area," according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
