A former lawyer to Donald Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse lower court rulings that enabled the now-defunct House January 6 committee to access information, arguing that those decisions harm the former president’s presidential aspirations.

A petition (pdf) filed by John Eastman with the Supreme Court argued that a March 2022 ruling handed down by Judge David O. Carter, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, “created a stigma for both Petitioner and his client, the former President of the United States and current candidate for the presidency.”
