Eastman Memos: The Legal Blueprint for Overturning the Election (2021-01-04)
Trump lawyer John Eastman produces two memos outlining a six-step plan for Vice President Pence to reject or delay certification of the 2020 election results. The memos propose that Pence declare Trump the winner or send the election back to states. Eastman acknowledges the plan would violate the Electoral Count Act. The memos become a central focus of the January 6 committee. Eastman is later indicted in Georgia and faces disbarment proceedings.
