Eastman Won’t Turn Over 37K Pages Of Trump Emails

Politico reports:

Attorney John Eastman revealed Monday that he has asserted attorney-client privilege on 37,000 pages of emails related to his work for then-President Donald Trump in the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The Jan. 6 select committee has objected to “every claim” over those pages, which now sends the gargantuan dispute to U.S. District Court Judge David Carter for a case-by-case review.

Carter has already ruled that he believes Eastman and Trump “more likely than not” engaged in a criminal conspiracy to obstruct Congress, an effort he called “a coup in search of a legal theory.”

The select committee already won a first round against Eastman. Judge Carter ruled that he and Trump likely committed multiple crimes to overturn the election and he gave the committee access to key emails sent between Jan. 4-7https://t.co/TyWPI0TJDF
