WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. judge ruled on Monday that former President Donald Trump “more likely than not” committed a felony by attempting to obstruct Congress when he tried to subvert the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021.

U.S. District Judge David Carter of Los Angeles stated in his ruling, that emails could be obtained by John Eastman, Trump’s lawyer, to assist the U.S. Congress committee in investigating the attack against the U.S. Capitol.

“Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” Carter said in a written decision.
