"John Eastman's Legal Battles: Representing Controversial Figures and Fighting Disbarment"

Former Trump attorney John Eastman is seeking to reactivate his law license in order to represent Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, as well as to pay his mounting legal bills stemming from his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Facing potential disbarment, Eastman estimates owing over $1 million to his lawyers and could face a bill of over $3 million, even if fully exonerated in the Georgia election subversion case. His influential clients, including Gaetz and Greene, are supporting his request to continue his legal work despite his disciplinary fallout with the California bar.
