The former Donald Trump lawyer also said he's been subpoenaed by police officers who sued Trump over injuries sustained in the 2021 insurrection.
Attorney John Eastman, one of the key architects of Donald Trump’s scheme to overturn the 2020 election, on Thursday addressed the recommendation by a judge that he be disbarred for his role in advancing the former president’s plot to remain in power.
State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland recommended last week that Eastman lose his license to practice law in the state due to “serious ethical violations.” These included making false statements that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to delay a count of electoral votes or refuse to certify them on Jan. 6, 2021, the judge said.
The California Supreme Court will have the final say on his disbarment.
“There’s a lot of water to go under the bridge yet before we get there,” Eastman said on the streaming program “The Absolute Truth With Emerald Robinson.”
The former Trump lawyer, who was admitted to the California State Bar in 1997, appeared dismissive of the case against him. Roland had found him culpable for 10 of the 11 disciplinary charges he faced over his involvement in efforts to undo Joe Biden’s presidential win four years ago.
The former lawmaker offered an olive branch to GOP national security hawks who hold the keys to her confirmation as Trump's director of national intelligence.
