Attorney John Eastman, a close ally of Donald Trump, has tried to shield 10,000+ pages of emails from Jan. 6 committee investigators, citing attorney client or attorney work-product privileges
John Eastman testifies during a hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee June 4, 2013. | Alex Wong/ ImagesAttorney 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.
Last month, the judge in the case, U.S. District Court Judge James Carter, ordered Eastman to review 1,500 pages per day and determine whether any privileges apply. Carter, who has emphasized the urgency of the Jan. 6 investigation, required Eastman to produce a daily log of documents he is withholding to give committee investigators a chance to object to his privilege claims. Carter has said he intends to review any disputed documents as Eastman nears completion of his full review.
The select committee has raised new alarms that Eastman is slow-walking or obfuscating their efforts to obtain critical documents related to this effort. In daily court filings, House Counsel Doug Letter has complained that Eastman’s privilege logs fail to provide enough insight into the documents he’s refusing to provide to give the committee an opportunity to issue informed challenges. Some, Letter wrote in a Friday court filing, are vaguely labeled “legal arguments” or “proposal to consider.
