Trump Lawyer Plead the Fifth Nearly 150 Times

A federal judge is forcing conservative lawyer John Eastman, who worked for Donald Trump before the January 6 insurrection, to respond to a House select committee subpoena for his emails — “setting congressional investigators up to receive access to information they’ve wanted for months but had not been able to get,” CNN reports.

“Eastman previously refused to provide information to the House when it subpoenaed him directly for testimony and documents. He had claimed his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as a response to nearly 150 questions and to his document subpoena.”
