'Deceit or dishonesty': Ex-Trump lawyer John Eastman should be stripped of law license - ruling

Attorney John Eastman should be stripped of his law license, said a California judge.Eastman faced a disciplinary trial in 2023.

"Eastman's actions were carried out with deceit or dishonesty," Judge Yvette Roland of California's State Bar Court wrote in her 128-page ruling. Former US president Donald Trump arrives at 40 Wall Street after his court hearing to determine the date of his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs in New York City. Eastman was separately indicted in August 2023 in Fulton County, Georgia, and charged along with Trump and others over efforts to overturn Biden's 2020 election win in the state.

Eastman repeated many of those claims at a rally outside the White House on 6 January 2021, after which a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol and delayed congressional certification of the election.
