More emails involving Donald Trump’s former attorney John Eastman feature evidence of potential post-election criminal activity by Trump and his allies, a federal judge in California found.
| Bloomberg
US District Judge David Carter on Wednesday ordered the disclosure of eight documents that Eastman, a former Chapman University law professor, argued should be shielded from a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, citing privileges for attorney-client communications or legal work product.
Trump and Eastman haven’t been charged with any crimes in connection with their postelection challenges to President Joe Biden’s wins in key states; there are pending federal and state criminal investigations. Carter’s findings don’t bind prosecutors to take action and don’t guarantee that either man will ultimately face charges, but the case marked the first time that a judge publicly stated that the former president likely committed federal crimes.
