DC Federal Judge Beryl Howell on Friday unsealed several rulings she made earlier this year finding there was no valid attorney-client privilege claim regarding emails sent between Trump Justice Department coup plotter former Acting Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark, his lieutenant Ken Klukowski, fascist MAGA lawyer John Eastman, and House Freedom Caucasians chair Congressman Scott Perry in the aftermath of Trump’s humiliating defeat in the 2020 election, Politico reports.
The two opinions, one in June concerning 37 emails prioritizing ones sent to and from Perry’s account and a second in September regarding Clark’s unpublished autobiography (lol) featuring how Donald came close to installing him as Acting Attorney General before being scared off with the threat of a mass exodus from the DOJ, were unsealed by Howell at the request of federal prosecutors. Politico legal reporter Kyle Cheney raises the interesting question of why they would want the rulings made public and not (at least at this point) the materials themselves, so we would probably do well to keep an eye on it to see what they’re going next with this.
