"John Eastman's Testimony Shakes California Disbarment Hearing"

Former Trump lawyer John Eastman disputed claims made by two former White House officials during his disbarment hearing in California, denying that he said former Vice President Mike Pence could reject slates of electors. Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges related to his "legal strategy" aimed at having Pence interfere with the certification of the 2020 election. Prosecutors presented press releases and statements from election officials stating there was no evidence of fraud, but Eastman claimed not to recall seeing most of them. He defended memos he drafted for Trump, stating he changed his position after research. Eastman will continue his testimony tomorrow.
