"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.
