California high court orders disbarring of former Trump attorney over effort to dispute 2020 election results

The California Supreme Court disbarred John Eastman, a former Trump attorney, for his role in promoting false claims about the 2020 election. Eastman, who advised Trump on efforts to overturn the election, authored a memo suggesting Vice President Mike Pence reject electoral votes for Joe Biden. His disbarment followed findings of 10 out of 11 ethical violations, with Eastman's legal team planning to challenge the decision in the U.S. Supreme Court.
