The judge ordered that four emails between Trump and attorney John Eastman be given to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
FILE - Chapman School of Law professor John Eastman testifies during a House Justice subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington, March 16, 2017. A federal judge says that former President Donald Trump signed legal documents after the 2020 election that included voter fraud claims he knew were inaccurate. U.S.
Though the judge’s conclusion has no practical bearing on a separate Justice Department investigation into efforts to overturn the election, any evidence that Trump signed documents he knew to be false could at minimum be a notable data point for criminal prosecutors trying to sort out culpability for far-ranging efforts to undo the results.
Yet even after the message from Eastman, Trump and his team filed another legal complaint that had “the same inaccurate numbers," the judge wrote. Trump under oath verified the complaint was true to the best of his knowledge. The ruling is the latest development in a monthslong legal battle between Eastman — a conservative lawyer and lead architect of Trump's last-ditch efforts to stay in office — and congressional investigators.
