Laura RomeroThe California State Bar has recommended that former Trump election attorney John Eastman be disbarred, a judge said in a filing on Wednesday.by the State Bar of California last January from allegations that Eastman engaged in "a course of conduct to plan, promote, and assist then-President Trump in executing a strategy, unsupported by facts or law, to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election.
"In view of the circumstances surrounding Eastman's misconduct and balancing the aggravation and mitigation, the court recommends that Eastman be disbarred," State Bar Court Judge Yvette D. Roland said in Wednesday's filling. Investigators for the California bar said Eastman made "demonstrably false and misleading statements" with the memos he drafted that became the framework for the "legal strategies" aimed at having then-Vice President Mike Pence interfere with the certification of the 2020 election.
The disbarment proceedings, which began in June, featured testimony from Pence's legal counsel Greg Jacob, state election officials from several states, and experts who Eastman relied on for his false claims of widespread election fraud.in the federal election interference indictment that special counsel Jack Smith brought against former President Donald Trump in August.
