A California appellate disciplinary panel on Friday affirmed the recommendation to disbar former Trump attorney John Eastman, concluding he lied to courts in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
In a decision dated June 13 and made public on Saturday, the State Bar Court’s Review Department upheld an earlier judge’s conclusion that Eastman committed “multiple acts of moral turpitude” by advancing baseless legal claims of voter fraud.
The court found Eastman promoted the plan to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to disrupt certification of the election results, Law & Crime reported.
According to the court’s opinion, Eastman made false and misleading statements in legal filings, advanced frivolous arguments, and pushed a plan to pressure Pence to reject certified Electoral College results on Jan. 6, 2021. The panel concluded Eastman’s conduct “undermined democracy itself” and warranted disbarment.
