Though it was made in a civil case involving a subpoena to one of his lawyers, a Federal Judge has ruled:

"
Former President Trump and his legal adviser, John Eastman, likely committed multiple federal crimes in their effort to prevent Congress from certifying President Biden's 2020 election victory,"

The lawyer, John Eastman, had claimed that communications between him and Trump should be shielded from disclosure based on attorney-client privilege. But that privilege does not apply when the communication is for the purpose of committing or planning a crime. The Judge ruled that Trump and Eastman were planning to commit the crimes of "obstruction of an official proceeding" and "conspiracy to defraud the United States." and thus these communications must be turned over to the Committee.

An appeal is inevitable with Trump hoping he can delay compliance until after a new Congress is seated which he hopes will bring a Republican majority that will disband the Committee and continue his obstructions of justice. We'll see what happens.

Two top prosecutors resigned,
it's unraveled, wish they'd press on.
