Pro-Trump lawyer John Eastman went on trial this week in California’s State Bar Court, where the state bar is seeking to revoke his law license.
The attorney John Eastman was a key player in Donald Trump’s legal effort to overturn the 2020 election. That work has now landed Eastman in a courtroom in downtown Los Angeles, where the State Bar of California is trying to revoke Eastman’s law license. In a way, this case is putting 2020 election denial on trial. NPR’s Tom Dreisbach has been in the courtroom, and he’s been covering the case all week.
