Eastman is a conservative attorney who reportedly advised the Trump campaign about how to block Joe Biden's Electoral College victory.
The Jan. 6 committee is expected to detail Eastman's and then-President Donald Trump's efforts to persuade then-Vice President Mike Pence to hold off on certifying the Electoral College votes. "We do understand that John Eastman, this lawyer, and some of the things he has written, will be part of this discussion today," said Rep. Jamie Raskin, who is on the committee.
This is not the first time Thomas' communications have come under scrutiny. She also urged Republican lawmakers in Arizona to choose their own state electors after Biden had won the state.
