Justice Thomas Recuses From Former Trump Lawyer's Supreme Court Appeal In Jan. 6 Probe

Justice Clarence Thomas recused himself from a Supreme Court case involving former Trump lawyer John Eastman's emails related to the January 6th investigation.
The Supreme Court rejected Eastman's appeal seeking to shield his emails from the House committee investigating the Capitol attack.
Eastman had crafted the legal strategy for former President Trump to overturn the 2020 election results.
Eastman faces charges in Georgia related to alleged 2020 election interference and is named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal obstruction case against Trump.
Thomas did not provide an explanation for recusing himself for the first time in a case related to the events of January 6, 2021.
