The Jan. 6 select committee says it has evidence that shows Donald Trump and his campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

The committee's findings, which were filed in federal court late Wednesday, suggested that Trump violated multiple laws by trying to prevent Congress from certifying his defeat.

The Select Committee has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

In a major release of the panel's findings, including excerpts of nearly a dozen depositions from top aides to Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, the committee described a president who had been told repeatedly that he lost the election and that his claims of fraud were unwarranted.

Top advisers were pushed to keep working on ways to overturn the election results.

As part of a legal push to force John Eastman, an attorney who was a key driver of Trump's strategy to subvert the 2020 election, to produce crucial emails tying together elements of the scheme they described, the panel released its findings. The testimony offered by the panel offered a detailed account of the legal strategy that would justify ordering Pence to overturn the election when he presided over the electoral-vote-counting session.

After a violent mob egged on by Trump invaded the Capitol, Eastman didn't relent. The company continued to press for the overturn of the election.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege, according to Greg Jacob.

You and your boss did not do what was necessary to allow the American people to see what happened.

Even after this exchange, Eastman made one final plea to convince Pence to stop the counting of electoral votes, acknowledging it would be a violation of the federal law known as the Electoral Count Act.

The committee wrote that thePlaintiff knew what he was proposing would violate the law, but he urged the Vice President to take those actions.

The chair and vice chair said in a statement that their fact- finding suggested that the doctor helped the president.

The select committee revealed its evidence as part of a bid to convince a federal judge to require Eastman to provide more of his own emails. The panel was barred from accessing his Chapman emails by the lawsuit.

The panel's emphasis on potential crimes may convince the judge that none of the records are protected by privilege.

Carter, who is based in California, rejected the attempts to shield his records because of the importance of the select committee's work. Carter ordered Eastman to quickly review 90,000 pages of emails and attachments to see if any should be released because of attorney-client privilege. He has supported the committee's demands, such as forcing him to reveal his legal relationship with Trump and requiring him to prioritize emails.

The committee indicated that the relationship with Trump did not prove that he had a legitimate claim of attorney client privilege.

The letter that was left unsigned was insufficient to establish an attorney-client relationship.
