John Eastman, a former attorney for Donald Trump, has been officially disbarred in California following recommendations due to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. This significant legal development comes after Eastman's involvement in the controversial 'fake electors' scheme aimed at challenging the election outcome. In response to his disbarment, Eastman is seeking to pause the disbarment order, arguing that it affects his ability to work as a lawyer and fund his criminal defense, with legal fees reportedly amounting to $3 million. Eastman's request is supported by affidavits from clients, including notable figures such as MTG and Matt Gaetz. The case has sparked discussions on the broader implications for lawyers representing political figures, with over a hundred lawyers who represented Trump facing similar legal challenges.
