Trump blows up on Truth Social after judge busts him for fraudulent
election lawsuit
Former President Donald Trump is not pleased with the recent ruling
handed down by a California judge who insists he filed a lawsuit riddled
with voter fraud allegations he knew were unfounded. In fact, the former president went so far as to describe the judge as a "partisan hack."
On Wednesday, October 19, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter named
the former president as part of his ruling stating that John Eastman's
emails "were not protected attorney-client communication because they
may be evidence of a crime," according to HuffPost.
Per Carter's 18-page ruling, Eastman's emails are "sufficiently related
to and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the United States."
The judge also ruled in favor of the House Select Committee as he
ordered for documents to be released to the committee investigating the
U.S. Capitol insurrection.
In his ruling, Carter said the emails "demonstrate an effort by
President Trump and his attorneys to press false claims in federal court
for the purpose of delaying the January 6 vote." The judge also noted
that the former president filed "certain lawsuits not to obtain legal
relief, but to disrupt or delay the January 6 congressional proceedings
through the courts."
Carter's ruling could open the door for Trump to face grave consequences
if there is enough evidence to support the notion that he "engaged in a conspiracy to overturn an election he knew was legitimate," the news
outlet notes.
On Thursday, October 20, Trump took to Truth Social to sound off about
the ruling.
"Who's this Clinton appointed 'Judge,' David Carter, who keeps saying,
and sending to all, very nasty, wrong, and ill-informed statements about
me on rulings, or a case (whatever!), currently going on in California,
that I know nothing about -- nor am I represented," Trump ranted.
He added, "With that being said, please explain to this partisan hack
that the Presidential Election of 2020 was Rigged and Stolen. Also, he shouldn't be making statements about me until he understands the facts,
which he doesn't!"
The latest ruling follows a lengthy timeline of Trump's conspiracy
theories about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
In December 2020, when Trump submitted verification for an initial state
court filing, he was "made aware that some of the allegations (and
evidence proffered by the experts) has been inaccurate," Eastman said in
one of his emails referenced in the court ruling. "For him to sign a new verification with that knowledge (and incorporation by reference) would
not be accurate."
The former president and his legal team went on to complete a new filing
"with the same inaccurate numbers without rectifying, clarifying, or
otherwise changing them," Carter wrote. "The emails show that President
Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but
continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public."
