An email shows that a former Trump White House lawyer was concerned about Donald Trump signing a sworn statement in support of a complaint.
The message said that a lawsuit would be filed against Kemp and the state's secretary of state. An attempt was made to de-certify the presidential election result.
On December 30, 2020, a draft of the lawsuit was sent to Eric Herschmann, the White House lawyer at the time, according to the report. Herschmann's "edits" were included in the second draft of the suit she sent the next day.
On December 31, 2020, Herschmann said he would review now. I explained to John that I was worried about the President signing a verification that may not be sustainable.
"I think that we should limit specific factual 'number' allegations to those that are necessary, those allegations that show that the decision is outcome determinative," Herschmann wrote. Molly Michael is Trump's assistant, and MarkMeadows was the chief of staff.
Herschmann did not reply immediately. Herschmann said that he was not discussing his conversations with the president.
Plans to subvert the 2020 vote were raised by Herschmann.
Herschmann recalled dismissing the plan to decertify the election.
He told him that he was out of his mind. I only want you to say two words: orderly transition.
The revelation of the email came two days after a federal judge ordered the release of more correspondence. The email from Herschmann is not known.
The committee has subpoenaed phone records and emails from the company.
A request for comment was not responded to by the company.
US District Court Judge David Carter ruled on Wednesday that the emails should be given to him. Carter claims that some of the correspondence shows that Trump knew the numbers of voter fraud were incorrect but continued to tout them.
Carter found that the emails were related to a conspiracy to defraud the United States.
A request for comment was not immediately responded to by representatives for Trump.
Trump said on Truth Social that he should not make statements about him until he knows the facts.
