What did a federal judge later say about the legality of Trump's request to Raffensperger when ruling on John Eastman's emails?

Question

Accepted Answer

In March 2022, federal judge David Carter cited the Trump-Raffensperger call when ruling John Eastman's emails could be turned over to the Jan. 6 Committee. Carter wrote Trump's request was 'obvious' in its 'illegality'—a clear attempt to pressure an official to change results. Because of this, Eastman's correspondence appeared to involve helping Trump commit a crime, meaning attorney-client privilege didn't apply under the crime-fraud exception.
