WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump signed legal documents challenging the results of the 2020 election that includedU.S. District Court Judge David Carter in an 18-page opinion ordered that four emails between Trump and attorney John Eastman be given to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He said the emails cannot be withheld because they include evidence of potential crimes.

“The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public,” Carter wrote. He said the emails are “sufficiently related to and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the United States.”Representatives for Trump and Eastman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Carter in his ruling Wednesday said the messages he has reviewed from Eastman and other attorneys show that the “primary goal” for some of their litigation was delaying or disrupting the certification of President Joe Biden’s election win. Also Wednesday, Trump answered questions under oath in a lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a magazine columnist who says the Republican raped her in the mid-1990s in a department store dressing room.
