John Eastman's Legal Troubles Mount Over Role in Trump's Election Scheme
TL;DR
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.
