A federal judge heard arguments between former Chapman University law professor John Eastman and the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, to determine whether several of Eastman's emails will remain private.
Many are calling for the firing of a Chapman University law professor after he spoke out at a pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., just hours before the deadly siege on the Capitol.
Burnham also asked Carter to not make a finding on the criminal fraud exemption, arguing it would generate a great deal of unnecessary controversy. And he argued that any sort of indictment based on the committee's reasoning would lead to"groundbreaking criminal" law. Carter asked Chapman attorney Fred Plevin why Eastman was"praised" and even won tenure for his work on the 2000 election on former President George W. Bush's behalf, but was found to have violated the university's prohibition of doing work to benefit a candidate in the 2020 election.
The attorneys also had an in-depth legal conversation about what materials would be considered covered under a work-product or attorney-client privilege. "The select committee has used that brief, which was supposed to address privilege claims over four days of emails, as an opportunity to provide what is effectively a 60-page criminal indictment against the former president, bringing within its dragnet anyone who, like Dr. Eastman, provided legal advice or who otherwise fell within the former president's orbit," it continued.
