Disciplinary Hearing Against Trump Attorney Begins

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An effort to disbar conservative attorney John Eastman, who devised ways to keep former President Donald Trump in the White House after his defeat in the 2020 election, is beginning in Los Angeles. Eastman’s disciplinary hearing starts Tuesday and comes a week after Trump appeared in federal court in Miami in a separate case. Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges filed by the State Bar of California, stemming from accusations that Eastman assisted Trump with a strategy — not supported by facts — to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election. Eastman’s attorney says his client disputes “every aspect” of the allegations.
