On Wednesday a judge recommended John Eastman be disbarred for „misconduct.“
Mary Trump has welcomed an attorney discipline judge’s recommendation that John Eastman, a judge who took part in efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential election defeat, should be disbarred for „misconduct.“
The ruling was issued on Wednesday by State Bar Judge Yvette Roland following a complaint against Eastman from the California State Bar in 2023. Roland concluded Eastman was culpable on 10 out of the 11 counts filed against him, though the close Trump ally has condemned the recommendation and vowed to appeal.
It comes amidst a slew of civil and criminal legal cases aimed at some of the leading figures in Trump’s bid to overturn his 2020 presidential election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden. The former president, and 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is continuing to insist the contest was rigged against him though this has been repeatedly rejected in court and by independent election observers.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Mary Trump, the former president’s estranged niece, posted a section from Roland’s ruling and called for action against other members of Trump’s legal team.
