Rolling Stone is citing two people familiar with Donald Trump's plots around the Jan. 6 trials as saying that the former president wants to throw legal adviser John Eastman under the bus.
Eastman, who previously worked as a law professor, penned the so-called "coup memo," which made the legal case for how former Vice President Mike Pence could supposedly reject the 2020 certification of the Electoral College. After three public hearings from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and attempt to overthrow the election, Eastman has garnered a lot of negative "attention," which has perturbed Trump.
