Trump Ally Pleads the 5th in Disbarment Hearing

Jeffrey Clark, a lawyer whom Trump wanted to lead the Justice Department, repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a disbarment hearing related to his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Clark faces criminal charges in Georgia and is also an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal election interference case against Trump. Former acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen testified that Clark was seeking to investigate election conspiracy theories "nowhere in his lane," and that his lack of experience was highlighted during a standoff in the Oval Office.

"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.

John Eastman's Legal Troubles Mount Over Role in Trump's Election Scheme

A disbarment hearing for John Eastman, a conservative attorney and former Trumpworld figure, began in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges related to his alleged efforts to carve a legal pathway whereby then-Vice President Mike Pence could reject Joe Biden’s election win. Eastman's attempt to call a public accountant as an expert witness was dismissed by the judge, who saw no relevance to the case. If found guilty, Eastman could lose his law license in California.
