Career

Lowell started reporting on House and Senate leadership for Guardian US in the spring of 2021. He has broken a number high profile stories about the January 6 select committee investigation,[5][6][7] including that Trump's former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows had turned over to the committee a presentation recommending Trump declare a national security emergency to return himself to office.[8][9][10][11]

He was also first to report that the January 6 committee would subpoena Trump's former chief of staff,[12] and that former President Donald Trump would instruct top aides like Meadows to defy congressional subpoenas.[13] He also reported that hours before the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, Trump called his lawyers at the Willard hotel in Washington DC and, shielded by attorney-client privilege, discussed ways to stop Joe Biden's certification.[14]
