A federal judge said his challenge failed “to show a likelihood of success.”
John Eastman, a former attorney for ex-president Donald Trump, lost his emergency request to block the Justice Department from accessing the contents of his phone, CNN reports. Jan. 6 investigators had said the phone may contain evidence useful in the ongoing probe of the deadly Capitol insurrection.
Eastman had asked a court to prevent federal investigators from searching his phone or using anything they find in the criminal inquiry, but a federal judge maintained the department’s search warrant was valid, so long as they get a second warrant to actually go through the device's contents as per norm.
