In a blockbuster announcement, a Federal Judge says Trump signed legal documents that he knew included false voter fraud numbers.
The Judge found that attorneys warned the ex-President that specific voter fraud numbers were wrong – but Trump still attested to those numbers in a sworn statement.
Trump had been told by his lawyer, John Eastman, that the numbers were not correct.
‘The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers,’ the judge said.
Judge Carter said Wednesday that Trump had ‘signed a verification swearing under oath’ that the inaccurate fraud numbers were ‘true and correct.’
U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter found that several documents between Trump’s allies must be made public, as they showed that the group participated in a “knowing misrepresentation of voter fraud numbers in Georgia when seeking to overturn the election results in federal court.”
This ruling was in response to Eastman’s attempt to block the disclosure of the emails to the Jan. 6 Committee.
It gets better: the committee had argued in its filing that Eastman’s claim of privilege was voided by the “crime/fraud exemption.”
Carter has ordered Eastman to disclose more than 30 documents sought by the House committee by 2 p.m. on Oct. 28.
Naturally, Trump lashed out spitefully, writing on his social media platform that the judge had made “very nasty, wrong, and ill-informed statements about me.”
Trump also repeated his false claim about the 2020 election having been “Rigged and Stolen,” ending his tantrum by saying the judge “shouldn’t be making statements about me until he understands the facts, which he doesn’t!”
