Trump Ally John Eastman Disbarred

Eastman, a former law school dean, was a key architect of the plan to pressure Vice President Mike Pence into rejecting legitimate electoral votes on January 6.

The disbarment means he is no longer licensed to practice law in California and must pay a $5,000 fine to the state bar.

Eastman's lawyers have indicated they will seek a review before the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that his actions were based on a legitimate legal theory.

The decision is seen as a major moment of accountability for the legal professionals who aided the attempt to subvert the democratic process.
