"John Eastman, the attorney who masterminded the legal strategy behind President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has been officially disbarred in California. This disbarment follows the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the subsequent legal repercussions faced by Eastman and other attorneys involved in representing Trump."
"Eastman was the infamous author of a memo detailing a strategy that he advised Trump to pursue in order to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which would entail having Vice President Mike Pence refuse to accept the Electoral College votes from the states."
"According to evidence and sworn testimony from numerous witnesses at the hearings held by the House Select Committee to Investigate Jan. 6, multiple aides to both Trump and Pence informed the president that this would be illegal and unconstitutional."

Eastman authored a memo advising Trump to reject Electoral College votes and lobbied state legislators to block Biden's votes. Evidence from the House Select Committee hearings indicated that aides warned both Trump and Pence about the illegality of these actions.
