President Trump’s 2020 election lawyer John Eastman was officially disbarred in Californian on Wednesday.
The California Supreme Court affirmed that Eastman was disbarred after a two-year battle with the state bar.
CBS News reported:
John Eastman, Chapman Law School’s former dean, lost his law license after he allegedly helped President Trump try to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
“After extensive proceedings before the State Bar Court’s Hearing and Review Departments, both of which found Mr. Eastman culpable of serious ethical violations, the Court has imposed the discipline warranted by the clear and convincing evidence that he advanced false claims about the 2020 presidential election to mislead courts, public officials, and the American public,” said State Bar Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona.
The California Supreme Court affirmed Eastman’s disbarment two years after the State Bar found him culpable of 10 disciplinary charges, claiming he engaged in misconduct by allegedly helping Trump try to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Eastman was disbarred in April 2024 after a judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election.
John Eastman previously asked a California judge to pause the disbarment ruling, citing massive legal fees.
Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’
