Eastman Ordered To Give Trove Of Docs To Riot Panel

Politico reports:

A federal judge Tuesday ordered John Eastman — the attorney who developed former President Donald Trump’s last-ditch strategy to overturn the election — to disclose a batch of 159 sensitive documents to the Jan. 6 select committee, including another email that the judge said presented evidence of a likely crime.

In a 26-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter also ordered Eastman to provide 10 documents about meetings Eastman held with a secretive pro-Trump group that included a “high-profile” leader discussing strategies for overturning the 2020 election.

Eastman was ordered to deliver the new batch of emails to the select committee by 5 p.m. Wednesday, the day before the panel’s first public hearing.
