The former Trump advisor could lose his California law license. One expert calls it a 'high-stakes' proceeding for the bar after the Tom Girardi scandal.
The former Chapman University law school dean faces accusations of promoting false claims that electoral cheating cost former President Trump the 2020 election.Arguing against the delay, bar attorney Duncan Carling said Eastman had made the calculated decision not to seek a delay before the trial started, even though it was obvious all along that he faced the possibility of legal trouble.
Carling said the Georgia case, involving 19 defendants, seemed unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. “We are talking potentially years here,” Carling said.The State Bar, the agency that regulates lawyers, has accused Eastman of ethics violations for promoting false claims that electoral cheating put Joe Biden in the White House, and for hawking a fringe legal scheme meant to overturn the election.
Pence rejected the idea as unconstitutional, and Jacob accused Eastman of serving as “a serpent in the ear of the president of the United States,” adding that it had been “gravely irresponsible for you to entice the President with an academic theory that had no legal viability.” The indictment cites a court document Eastman filed in Fulton County on Trump’s behalf on Dec. 31, 2020, asserting that the election was marred by illegal votes from “as many as 2,506 felons,” “at least 66,247 underage” people, and “as many as 10,315 or more” dead people. Earlier that day, according to the indictment, Eastman admitted that at least some of the information in the filing was inaccurate.
