Trump Hosts Mar-a-Lago Event Honoring John Eastman Ahead of Jan. 6 Anniversary

The president-elect praised Eastman, a key figure in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, at a gathering criticized as a 'disgrace' to democracy.

Donald Trump hosted a Mar-a-Lago event featuring a documentary about John Eastman, a lawyer central to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The event, held days before the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, drew sharp criticism from MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend, who called it 'sickening.'
Eastman, facing legal charges in Georgia and Arizona related to alleged election subversion schemes, was praised by Trump during the gathering.
The documentary, titled 'The Eastman Dilemma: Lawfare or Justice,' highlights Eastman's controversial legal strategy to challenge the 2020 election outcome.
Critics argue the event signals Trump's continued alignment with figures involved in efforts to undermine democratic processes.
