A state district judge in Santa Fe has ordered John Eastman, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, to appear before a Georgia grand jury later this month to testify about allegations of coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of Georgia’s 2020 elections.

Eastman, who has a home in Santa Fe, made headlines nationwide in June when federal agents confiscated his cellphone outside a restaurant in the city.

Attorney client privilege

... does not cover statements made by a client to a lawyer if the statements are meant to further or conceal a crime.

Lawyers can’t protect the commission of a crime


That would be pretty stupid of the system to let that take place huh

Eastman was not retained by Trump as his personal lawyer.
