The State Bar of California is moving to disbar attorney and former law professor John Eastman for supporting President Donald Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
In a disciplinary action filed on Thursday, the regulatory body of California lawyers claimed that Eastman should be stripped of his license over his actions in the period leading up to, and in the aftermath of, the Jan. 6, 2021, protest that devolved into a breach of the U.S. Capitol building.
