A California judge on Wednesday recommended disbarring a lawyer at the center of former President Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. State Bar Judge Yvette Roland found John Eastman culpable on 10 of the 11 counts filed by the California State Bar last year. The state bar sought to strip Eastman's license to practice law in the state over "false and misleading statements" about purported election fraud and his role in "provoking" the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
