John Eastman Asks to Be Added to Trump's Pardon List — Before Jan 6 Committee Testimony

During the January 6 committee's third public hearing, evidence reveals that Trump lawyer John Eastman — architect of the fake electors scheme and the legal memo arguing Pence could overturn the election — emailed Rudy Giuliani after January 6 asking: 'I've decided that I should be on the pardon list, if that is still in the works.' The email is a stunning self-indictment: Eastman sought a pardon for the very acts he was advising Trump to commit, revealing that he understood the actions were potentially criminal.
