This week, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter ruled that email messages between former President Donald Trump and one of his political advisers, attorney John Eastman, must be released to the House Jan. 6 committee because they contain evidence of potential crimes.
Specifically, the messages indicate that Trump knowingly lied about voter fraud in court documents..

“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,” Carter wrote in his ruling.

That is what is colloquially referred to as a “smoking gun.” It is the kind of clear, damning evidence that investigators finally found in Richard Nixon’s Oval Office tapes during the Watergate scandal. In Trump’s case, though, it is not the only hot weapon.
