California Supreme Court Disbars John Eastman for Role in 2020 Election Overturn Attempt
The California Supreme Court has permanently disbarred John Eastman, a key figure in President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Eastman, a former law professor, was found to have made false statements in court filings and promoted baseless claims of election fraud. His actions were part of a broader strategy to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's victory. The court's decision marks a significant professional penalty for Eastman, who was a central player in the legal maneuvers following the 2020 election. Despite his disbarment, Eastman remains active in circles that continue to deny the legitimacy of the 2020 election results.
