John Eastman Disbarred in California

Eastman, a former law school dean, played a central role in advising President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on ways to block the transition of power.

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

His legal team has stated they will seek a review of the decision before the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing the move is politically motivated.

The ruling is a significant moment in the ongoing legal accountability for those involved in the attempt to subvert the last presidential election.
