“That work was done pursuant to representation of the president,” attorney Charles Burnham said, when asked specifically about Eastman briefing hundreds of state legislators. The judge then asked Eastman’s team who his client was during each of the moments the House sought information about in their letter to Eastman announcing his subpoena.

A third party — potentially the judge — will then decide whether the emails can stay secret.
