Judge Recommends Disbarring Former Trump Lawyer John Eastman for 2020 Election Efforts
A judge in California has recommended that lawyer John Eastman be stripped of his law license for violating rules of professional ethics by persistently lying in his efforts to help former President Donald J. Trump maintain power after losing the 2020 election. The ruling stated that Eastman exhibited gross negligence by making false statements about the election without conducting any meaningful investigation or verification of the information he relied upon. This decision is part of a broader effort by bar officials to seek accountability against lawyers who pushed false claims of election fraud and sought to help Trump stay in office.
