John Eastman, a former attorney for Donald Trump, is closer to disbarment after a California State Bar Court panel found him guilty of 10 counts of misconduct. The panel emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles and warned against attempts to undermine election integrity. Judge Yvette Roland initially recommended disbarment in March 2024, citing Eastman's unethical actions in promoting unfounded legal theories to challenge the 2020 presidential election results. This decision is tied to multiple disciplinary charges issued against him by the State Bar of California.
In a democracy nothing can be more fundamental than the orderly transfer of power that occurs after a fair and unimpeded electoral process as established by law.
Eastman's actions transgressed ... ethical limits by advocating, participating in and pursuing a strategy to challenge the 2020 presidential election that lacked evidentiary or legal support.
The State Bar of California's chief trial counsel charged Eastman with multiple disciplinary counts in January 2023, leading to his potential disbarment.
