Trump lawyer John Eastman, who was recently indicted in Georgia for alleged election interference, received bad news from the highest U.S. court.
on Monday rejected an appeal by conservative lawyer John Eastman in which he attempted to shield a number of emails from congressional investigators pertaining to the results of the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol., indicted in August in Fulton County, Georgia, for allegedly interfering in the state's election to overturn results in Trump's favor. Eastman, Trump and others have defended their actions and maintained their innocence.
The Court's justices declined to listen to Eastman's appeal stemming from a lower court ruling that backed up a federal judge's determination that his 10 emails can be turned over to a committee within the House of Representatives due to an exception to attorney-client privilege between Eastman and Trump.
"That ruling created a stigma for both Petitioner and his client, the former President of the United States and current candidate for the presidency," the appeal stated. The defendants in the Ninth Circuit case were Representative Bennie Thompson, who chaired the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, and Chapman University.Full List of 9 Republicans Who Voted Against Government Spending Bill
