"Eastman's Legal Troubles Escalate Amidst Jan. 6 Rally Controversy"

California State Bar Court judge, Yvette Roland, has preliminarily found Trump attorney John Eastman culpable in an 11-count trial for allegedly conspiring to invalidate the 2020 presidential election. After 32 days of testimony, the judge made a preliminary finding of culpability, stating that the case will proceed with rebuttal testimony and aggravation. Eastman had earlier asserted his First Amendment right to speak out as a private citizen, not as counsel to Donald Trump, in remarks made before the January 6th raid on the US Capitol.

"California Judge Denies Eastman's Bid to Delay Disbarment Proceedings"

Attorney John Eastman, a key figure in former President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has been denied a request to postpone his ongoing disbarment hearings in California, despite being indicted in Georgia. The judge ruled that Eastman had waived his rights against self-incrimination by testifying for over eight hours in his disbarment proceedings without invoking the Fifth Amendment. Eastman is facing felony charges in Georgia for his alleged role in a racketeering conspiracy with Trump and 17 others. The disbarment proceedings will continue, and it is unclear if Eastman will appeal the ruling or assert his Fifth Amendment rights in response to further questioning.
