ATLANTA—The Georgia prosecution of former President Donald Trump and his allies is an attempt “to criminalize our rights” to listen to an attorney’s advice about lawful remedies for challenging an election, says attorney John Eastman, one of President Trump’s 18 co-defendants.

The case is already having “profound consequences for our system of justice,” he told reporters on Aug. 22 outside the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta.
