|
Accordingly, the evidence may be relied upon for the relevant legal or procedural purpose connected to the criminal hearings, subject to any applicable evidentiary rules, court procedure, or further review required under White House law.
VI. Summary of Arguments
Before reaching a decision, the Ethics Board deliberated on the authenticity of the evidence, as screenshots of Discord on mobile devices provide fewer details to work with, and the evidence in question was not organized in proper order.
While this caused some confusion and delays in voting, the Board agreed that the screenshots appeared to be authentic with no tampering apparent. The Board agreed that the screenshots portrayed a possibility of a crime being committed and voted to certify the evidence in question.
VII. Final Notes from Members of the Board
Members of the Board declined to leave any final notes.
VIII. Final Statement from the Board Chair
The Board initially had some difficulties explaining the scope of responsibilities of the Ethics Board to members who had never participated previously. We had some misunderstandings, but after 3 days of back-and-forth discussion, we came to a complete and unanimous agreement.
The evidence is approved to be admissible in court. The final vote for the Board is 7-0, with all members voting in favor of approving this evidence.
