John Eastman faces disbarment

In a 128-page opinion handed down on Wednesday, California Bar Court judge Yvette Roland recommends that Ex-Trump lawyer John Eastman have his law license revoked, highlighting his part in the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election as being a major ethics violation.

"In view of the circumstances surrounding Eastman's misconduct and balancing the aggravation and mitigation, the court recommends that Eastman be disbarred," Roland writes, with the State Bar alleging that he "engaged in a course of conduct to plan, promote, and assist" Trump in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, per Axios.
