A former Donald Trump-linked attorney and one of the chief architects of a scheme to overturn the 2020 election has asked to postpone his disbarment hearings as he anticipates criminal charges connected to the former president’s latest indictment.
An 11-count complaint from the chief trial counsel of the State Bar of California alleges that John Eastman “engaged in a course of conduct to plan, promote, and assist” Mr Trump “in executing a strategy, unsupported by facts or law, to overturn the legitimate results” of the 2020 presidential election.
