John Eastman, a lawyer who spearheaded efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in President Trump’s favor, has been formally disbarred in California.
The California Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to review his appeal of a lower court’s recommendation to strip him of his law license, instead ordering his disbarment.https://thehill.com/homenews/5833287-john-eastman-disbarred-california/
“The court orders that John Charles Eastman…is disbarred from the practice of law in California and that Respondent’s name is stricken from the roll of attorneys,” reads a terse order on the docket of Eastman’s case.
The state’s highest court also ordered Eastman to pay a $5,000 sanction to the State Bar of California Client Security Fund.
