PALM BEACH, Fla.—On the sunny yet slightly cool afternoon of Jan. 4, guests began to arrive at President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach for an exclusive event.

The occasion was a private screening of a documentary featuring attorney John Eastman, whose name in recent years gained national attention because of his role advising Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign and his stance on the election’s integrity.
