Former President Donald Trump’s suggestions on how to flip the outcome of the 2020 election were jotted in handwritten notes to the law professor who was advising him on the effort, according to a court filing.
John Eastman, the former dean of Chapman University law school, said two handwritten notes from the former president contained “information that he thought might be useful for the anticipated litigation,” according to the filing in federal court in Santa Ana, California.
Eastman is under scrutiny by a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. A judge in March ordered Eastman to turn over a trove of documents to the committee, saying they weren’t subject to attorney-client privilege because it was “more likely than not” that Trump had committed crimes.
