DOJ May Be Considering Charges For John Eastman

Politico reports:

Federal prosecutors don’t appear to be done with John Eastman just yet. On Monday, a paralegal for special counsel Jack Smith’s office ordered transcripts from the recent disbarment trial of the former Donald Trump attorney. The move signals that prosecutors are still keeping tabs on Eastman, who helped orchestrate Trump’s last-ditch bid to remain in power despite his defeat in the 2020 election.

Eastman is one of six alleged co-conspirators in the federal indictment that Smith obtained against Trump in August in Washington, D.C. Eastman has not been charged in that case, but he has been charged alongside Trump and other allies in a separate criminal case involving election interference in Georgia. It’s unclear whether Smith is still contemplating charges against Eastman for his role in the alleged conspiracy with Trump.
