Eastman Refuses To Release Emails To Riot Committee

Politico reports:

Attorney John Eastman, a close ally of Donald Trump amid his effort to subvert the 2020 election, has attempted to shield more than 10,000 pages of emails and counting from congressional investigators, citing attorney client or attorney work-product privileges.

In a court filing early Monday, Eastman said he has reviewed about 46,000 pages — nearly half the total — and provided about 8,000 to the committee. About 27,000 were automatically withheld because they were considered boilerplate mass emails, like campaign solicitations or newsletters.
