At Least Four Trump Aides Testified That They Told Him And His Team That He Lost His Re Election

The House Election Committee plans to use future hearings to look into how former President Donald Trump used a pipeline, lawyer John Eastman, in his plans to overturn the January 6, 2021 election certification. The commission received hundreds of Eastman emails just yesterday, though they have not been released. In response to the House committee, Eastman invoked his right to the Fifth Amendment protecting him from self-incrimination, so he did not testify. Michael Lutig, a former federal judge who advised former Vice President Mike Pence not to reject the ballot, spoke to the committee about Eastman.
Luttig said Eastman was “wrong at every step”, according to the GOP. Representative Liz Cheney, Vice-Chair of the January 6 Committee. Cheney also highlighted a scathing email from another lawyer close to Pence, Greg Jacobs’s former adviser. “Thanks to your bullshit, we are under siege,” Jacob wrote to Eastman during the uprising. Cheney went on to say that the commission had learned new details “about the Trump campaign and the efforts of other Trump associates to instruct Republicans in many states to deliberately create false ballot papers and pass them on to Congress and the National Archives.” “by falsely certifying that Trump won, he declares that he really lost.”
On Wednesday, the House Committee was still receiving some of Eastman’s emails. A handful of additional emails they received yesterday focused heavily on voter planning and state legislature involvement. Some of these emails documented a meeting agenda where Eastman presented a so-called “ground game” in the states. Others “do not offer legal advice, but aim to persuade lawmakers to take political action,” the judge wrote.
The voter plan is now under investigation in two criminal investigations — in Georgia and by federal authorities.
