Donald Trump called a California judge a "partisan hack" after he stated in a ruling that the former president had filed a lawsuit that was false.
Emails between the former president and an attorney were not protected from prosecution because they may be evidence of a crime.
Carter said that the emails were related to a conspiracy to defraud the United States.
The judge ordered the release of dozens of documents to the House.
He wrote that the emails showed an effort by President Trump and his attorneys to delay the January 6 vote.
He noted that Trump filed lawsuits to disrupt or delay the January 6 congressional proceedings.
He was the architect of the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, who created a scheme to have former Vice President Mike Pence refuse to certify electoral votes.
If it is proven that Trump was involved in a conspiracy to change the outcome of the election, he will be in serious trouble.
Carter was criticized by Trump in a Truth Social post for saying and sending "very nasty, wrong and ill informed statements about me on ruling or a case in California."
He asked if the President election of 2020 was rigged and stolen.
There is no evidence that the 2020 election was rigged.
Carter noted in his ruling that Trump had filed a lawsuit that was false, even though he had been told that some of the claims were not true.
The ruling states that after Trump signed a verification for an original state court filing in December 2020, he was made aware that some of the allegations had been incorrect. He wouldn't be accurate if he signed a new verification with that knowledge.
Carter wrote that Trump and his legal team went on to file a later complaint with the same inaccurate numbers. According to the emails, President Trump knew the numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout them.
