The State Bar of California on Thursday filed a notice of disciplinary charges against former Donald Trump attorney John Eastman over what bar officials said were Eastman’s alleged efforts to aid Trump in his bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The complaint levels 11 different disciplinary — not criminal — charges against Eastman detailing various efforts to craft and play a leadership role in trying to reverse Trump’s loss to Joe Biden, which hinged on false claims about widespread election fraud that the state bar claims led to the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
«There is nothing more sacrosanct to our American democracy than free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power,» California State Bar Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona said in a statement.
