The House committee in charge of investigating the January 6 U.S. Capitol takeover is coming forward with new evidence.

It included rare disclosures of findings, and excerpts of the panel’s depositions and interviews with witnesses, including former Vice President Mike Pence‘s top advisers, former Justice Department leaders, and those close to Trump.

The filing is a response to a lawsuit by attorney John Eastman, who advised Trump in his final weeks in office, and has refused to provide documents to the committee and invoked attorney-client privilege.

The filing describes how the lawyer advised Trump to “press an unconstitutional plan” and sought to persuade Vice President Pence and his advisers to go along with the effort.
