An attorney discipline judge in California has recommended that ex-Trump election lawyer John Eastman be disbarred, according to an opinion released on Wednesday.
Eastman will lose his ability to practice law within days, because the court’s decision involuntarily revokes his license, according to the opinion. Judge Yvette Roland’s opinion comes after a lengthy trial about Eastman’s actions as he led some of the efforts for Donald Trump to challenge his 2020 election loss. The opinion serves as a recommendation to the California Supreme Court, which will ultimately decide whether to endorse or reject the punishment.
Roland found that Eastman knew his plan for then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn Biden’s victory while presiding over the Electoral College certification “lacked legitimacy,” and that his two-page memo outlining the plan was “was designed to provide legal support and convince Vice President Pence to carry out that strategy.
