A judge has recommended that conservative attorney John Eastman lose his California law license over his efforts to keep former President Donald Trump in power after the 2020 election.
Eastman, a former law school dean, faced 11 disciplinary charges in the state bar court stemming from his development of a legal strategy to have then-Vice President Mike Pence interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.
State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland’s recommendation, issued Wednesday, now goes to the California Supreme Court for a final ruling on whether he should be disbarred. Eastman can appeal the top court’s decision.
“legal strategy”
“Efforts to keep…”
Eastman, trump and others personally encouraged state election officials to forge election documents and try to send the forgeries into the national archives and to Mike pence to try to trick people into thinking dumps didn’t lose the election he lost.
Election officials in seven states forged those documents and mailed them in.
