Potential Evidence Of A Crime
Most notably in Tuesday’s order, Carter ordered Eastman to turn over an email to the committee because it fit the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege — that is, an instance where “a client consults an attorney for advice that will serve [them] in the commission of a fraud or crime.” Carter has previously found that Trump and Eastman likely broke federal laws in their effort to disrupt the certification of Biden’s win.Tuesday’s ruling expanded the scope of those potential crimes — back to Dec. 22, 2020, when an unnamed attorney explained the risk of bringing litigation over the interpretation of the Electoral Count Act, the law that governs the certification of Electoral College votes and the weak point that Trump sought to exploit on Jan. 6. That email is among those sought by the committee.
“Because the attorney concluded that a negative court ruling would ‘tank the January 6 strategy,’ he encouraged the legal team to avoid the courts,” the judge wrote of the email in question, adding that it cemented the direction of the Jan. 6 plan.
