California Judge Recommends Disbarment for Conservative Lawyer John Eastman

A California judge has recommended that conservative lawyer John Eastman be disbarred in the state over his involvement in developing a legal strategy to help former President Donald Trump stay in power after the 2020 election. The judge's recommendation includes putting Eastman's law license on "involuntary inactive" status and ordering him to pay $10,000 in monetary sanctions. Eastman, who denies any wrongdoing, can appeal the decision, which will be finalized by the California Supreme Court. He faces other legal cases related to election interference, including criminal charges in Georgia and being named as an unnamed co-conspirator in a Justice Department case.
