A judge on Wednesday recommended that John Eastman, a co-defendant of Donald Trump in the Georgia election interference case, be disbarred in California. “In view of the circumstances surrounding Eastman’s misconduct and balancing the aggravation and mitigation, the court recommends that Eastman be disbarred,' wrote Judge Yvette D. Roland.
6, 2021. Reached for comment, an attorney for Eastman told NBC News his legal team is still processing the judge's ruling. The judge's recommendation comes two years after the State Bar of California announced an ethics investigation into Eastman’s conduct. In 2023, the State Bar asked the court to revoke Eastman’s license to practice law in California. Eastman is also facing other legal challenges stemming from his conduct in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
