Summary

The California Supreme Court has disbarred attorney John Eastman, a close adviser to President Donald Trump, for egregious and deceitful conduct related to the 2020 presidential election outcome. The State Bar of California found Eastman culpable of 10 out of 11 charges and recommended his disbarment. Eastman authored a memo regarding a plan for then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject electoral votes for Joe Biden.
