John Eastman, Attorney for Donald Trump, Pleads Not Guilty and Defends His Role in Election Fraud Conspiracy on '60 Minutes'

Eastman argues his innocence on national TV, adheres to far-right talking points and maintains that his actions were simply to investigate alleged election fraud; in contrast to other implicated lawyers who've taken plea deals.

John Eastman, lawyer for Donald Trump, defended his actions in the alleged election fraud conspiracy during an interview on '60 Minutes', claiming his attempts to investigate alleged election fraud were in the interest of the public.
Unlike some other right-wing lawyers implicated in the case who have accepted plea deals, Eastman has chosen to plead not guilty and is combating the charges in the court of public opinion.
During the '60 Minutes' interview, Eastman repeatedly cited far-right talking points and alluded to a so-called 'uniparty' which he believes is working to oppose former President Donald Trump's ideologies and actions.
Eastman's approach to the case appears to be different from other implicated lawyers. Instead of seeking leniency from the court, he appears to be rallying support from the MAGA movement and Trump himself.
Despite widespread criticism and debunking of his claims of election fraud, Eastman continues to assert the need for more in-depth investigations into the election results.
