The California Supreme Court has disbarred John Eastman, a former attorney for President Donald Trump who had attempted to dispute the 2020 presidential election results. The court's decision comes after Eastman was found to have engaged in 'reckless disregard' for the law and ethics during his efforts to challenge the election outcome. This move marks one of the first times a California lawyer has been disbarred over their involvement in Trump's post-election efforts. Eastman had previously faced disciplinary action from the state bar association.
