John Eastman disbarred in California over efforts to overturn 2020 election
The court said he advanced false 2020 election claims and a plan to pressure Mike Pence, ending his California law license.
- On Wednesday, the California Supreme Court disbarred John Eastman, stripping his law license after confirming a lower court's recommendation that he violated ethics rules through efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
- The California State Bar charged Eastman with misconduct, alleging he advanced false claims about the 2020 election to mislead courts and officials, finding his actions incompatible with integrity standards required of California attorneys.
- Eastman's attorney, Randall Miller, stated they plan to seek review in the United States Supreme Court, arguing the decision "raises pivotal constitutional concerns" regarding First Amendment protections in attorney discipline.
- Supporters of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement criticized the ruling, with Article III Project attorney Mike Davis calling it a "clear and terrorizing message," while others labeled the disbarment an "injustice" and a "travesty."
- Eastman, a former dean at Chapman Law School, became a national figure five years ago for advising Trump on rejecting electoral votes and remains an architect of efforts to end birthright citizenship in America.
