A Marion County judge has ordered the Indiana governor's office to turn over emails between then-Gov. Mike Pence and President-elect Donald Trump about jobs at Carrier Corp.
In a Monday ruling, Superior Court Judge Heather Welch gave Gov. Eric Holcomb, who succeeded Pence when Pence became vice president, 30 days to deliver the documents, dating from Nov. 14 to 29, 2016, to Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana. The nonprofit first requested them in December 2016.
Trump slammed Carrier during his 2016 campaign for president after the company announced that it was cutting 2,100 jobs in Indiana, a move that included closing its factory on Indianapolis' west side and moving those jobs to Monterey, Mexico. Trump threatened to "tax the hell" out of Carrier's products.
