Activists urge Supreme Court to disbar John Eastman for role in Trump’s 2020 election challenges

A left-leaning legal group asked the Supreme Court this week to disbar attorney John Eastman because he counseled former President Trump on challenging the 2020 election results.

The 65 Project, named after Mr. Trump’s 65 failed lawsuits aimed at overturning the election, charged that Mr. Eastman violated his oath and duty as a lawyer to conduct himself according to the law and the U.S. Constitution.

“He actively participated in an effort to undermine our elections — a scheme that led to the gravest attack on American democracy since the Civil War,” the group wrote in a 17-page letter to the high court’s clerk.
