![]() Those emails became a significant source of evidence the committee cited during its public hearings in June and July. The litigation landed before Carter, who forced Eastman to detail his attorney-client relationship with Trump and then conducted a document-by-document review to determine whether Eastman’s privilege claims could be sustained. The committee subpoenaed Chapman for records in January, but Eastman - who had pleaded the Fifth during an appearance before the committee in December - sued to block Chapman from delivering the files to lawmakers. The emails all came from files held by Chapman University, Eastman’s former employer. The California-based jurist has already helped arm the committee with an enormous trove of Eastman’s emails, delivering a string of rulings in the spring that rejected Eastman’s privilege claims and, in one notable case, overruled it by citing evidence of a “likely” conspiracy with Trump.
