A California judge issued a recommendation on Wednesday that attorney John Eastman be disbarred in the state over his advise to then-President Donald Trump in his efforts to challenge the accuracy of the 2020 election results.

State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland found Mr. Eastman culpable on 10 of 11 counts of misconduct alleged by the California State Bar last year. The eleventh count was dismissed with prejudice.
