Trump Lawyer Faces Disbarment for Role in Scheme to Overturn 2020 Election

Conservative attorney John Eastman developed a dubious legal strategy aimed at having Vice President Mike Pence interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.
Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges in the State Bar Court of California for violating attorney ethics and making false statements about alleged voter fraud.
Eastman's legal theory suggesting Pence could reject electors from certain states was unsupported by law and history, according to former Pence counsel Greg Jacob.
The plan to disrupt the electoral vote count contributed to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Jacob testified.
If found culpable, Eastman could lose his license to practice law in California, with a final decision made by the state Supreme Court.
