Ex-Trump attorney John Eastman found culpable in California bar trial, blames Trump haters

A California judge has preliminarily found John Eastman, a former attorney for Donald Trump, culpable of ethics violations in a state bar disciplinary case related to his efforts to help Trump overturn the 2020 election results. The preliminary finding by State Bar Court Judge Yvette D. Roland opens the possibility of severe sanctions, including disbarment, if a final finding of culpability is issued. The trial is set to conclude on Friday, and both parties will have the option to appeal the decision. This case is part of a broader effort by disciplinary authorities across the country to target attorneys who assisted Trump after the election.

Disciplinary proceedings against Trump ally Jeffrey Clark move forward

A federal judge has rejected Jeffrey Clark's effort to transfer disciplinary proceedings against him to federal court, clearing the way for the D.C. Bar to resume proceedings against the former assistant attorney general. Clark, a top ally in Donald Trump's bid to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election, had tied up those proceedings for nearly eight months. D.C. Bar authorities charged Clark in July 2022 with engaging in "dishonest" conduct and seeking to "seriously interfere with the administration of justice" when he embarked on a weekslong effort to help Trump sow doubt about the results of the 2020 election.
