The Jan. 6 select committee is moving to sharply narrow its legal battle with attorney John Eastman, the architect of Donald Trump’s last-ditch bid to overturn the 2020 election, as it prepares to unveil the findings of its 10-month investigation.
Although Eastman continues to shield more than 20,000 pages of records related to his work for Trump, the committee now says it’s focused on obtaining just 3,000 of them before it launches public hearings in June and is urging a federal judge to quickly review the documents for release to investigators.
Chair Bennie Thompson says he expects the committee to begin a series of eight public hearings on June 9. Carter memorably described the effort as “a coup in search of a legal theory,” and he granted the committee access to several hundred pages of emails Eastman exchanged on those key dates. “Without knowing which documents remain at issue, Plaintiff is unable to offer a position on the continuing need for discovery, an appropriate briefing schedule, or whether further narrowing of the disputed privilege issues may be possible,” Eastman’s attorneys Charles Burnham and Anthony Caso write.
