Attorney John Eastman has been asked to hand over nearly 200 emails to the Jan. 6 committee—many of which, a federal judge has ruled, indicate continued evidence of a “well-established” and “fully formed” plan by Eastman and former President Donald Trump to illegally overturn the 2020 election.
In March, the judge found that Trump and Eastman likely engaged in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election. He described it as a “coup in search of a legal theory.”
