WEST PALM BEACH—In a new documentary, constitutional scholar John Eastman argues that in recent years, the United States has seen the rise of a “two-tiered justice system” in which the legal system has unfairly targeted lawyers representing conservative clients.

In the new film “The Eastman Dilemma: Lawfare or Justice,” he argues that lawyers who defended President Donald Trump and other conservative figures after the 2020 election faced harsh penalties for questioning election integrity—penalties he believes would not be applied if those on the left made similar claims.
