Eastman faces disbarment trial for role in Trump's election scheme.
TL;DR
California bar authorities are seeking to disbar attorney John Eastman, the key architect of the fringe legal theory that former President Donald Trump used to subvert the 2020 election. Eastman's bar trial, on charges of professional misconduct, comes as he and Trump await word on whether they'll be criminally charged for the scheme. The trial will expose Eastman's conduct as "fundamentally dishonest and intended to disrupt the lawful certification of the winner of the 2020 election."
