Description

House January 6 committee obtains email outlining early plan to try to overturn Trump's 2020 loss. The House select committee investigating the 2021 US Capitol insurrection has obtained a December 2020 proposal from a lawyer to Rudy Giuliani and others that sketched out an early, rough plan to halt Joe Biden becoming president by throwing the certification of the election into the hands of the Senate pro tempore at the time, Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa. The December 13 email, written by a New York lawyer named Kenneth Chesebro, is significant because it's the only document so far that the House has obtained solely because of a judge's finding that it could become evidence of a crime. The email came to light as part of a court fight over right-wing attorney John Eastman's email account.
