Law professor John Eastman has retired from his position at Orange County’s Chapman University, following a faculty uproar after he spoke at the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C., that resulted in protesters entering the U.S. Capitol.
Faculty members at the Southern California university released a letter calling for the administration to fire Eastman after he spoke at the event while standing next to Rudy Giuliani, a member of President Donald Trump’s legal team. During his speech, the law professor discussed election fraud and asked Vice President Mike Pence to object to the certification of Electoral College votes.
