LOS ANGELES — The State Bar of California filed disciplinary charges Thursday against Orange County attorney John Eastman, accusing him of multiple ethics violations stemming from his actions while advising then-President Donald Trump on how to overturn the 2020 election.
The charges could be the first step to Eastman losing his California law license.
Eastman, a former professor and dean at Chapman University’s Fowler School of Law, emerged as a key legal adviser to Trump in the weeks after Joe Biden won the presidency.
