Trump WH Attorney Eric Herschmann Told Eastman: 'Get a Great F***ing Criminal Defense Lawyer'
January 6 committee testimony reveals that on January 7, 2021 — the day after the insurrection — Trump White House attorney Eric Herschmann told John Eastman: 'Get a great f***ing criminal defense lawyer. You're going to need it.' The exchange, confirmed by Herschmann's sworn testimony, shows that even Trump's own White House lawyers believed Eastman's actions were criminal. Herschmann, a Trump loyalist, was not a Never-Trumper — he simply recognized that the fake electors scheme crossed a legal line.
