John Eastman Faces Multiple Legal Setbacks, Including Temporary Suspension of D.C. Law License
Following a California court's recommendation for disbarment, the D.C. Court of Appeals has also temporarily suspended John Eastman's law license.
- John Eastman, former lawyer for Donald Trump, has had his law license suspended in D.C. pending further legal proceedings in California.
- The suspension in D.C. mirrors actions taken by a California judge who cited Eastman's 'false and misleading statements' about the 2020 election.
- California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland rejected Eastman's plea to lift his suspension, emphasizing the need to protect the public.
- Eastman faces criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
- The California Supreme Court is set to make a final ruling on Eastman's disbarment, which he can appeal.
