California Bar Investigates Cultist Lawyer John Eastman

Forbes reports:

Former Trump legal adviser John C. Eastman, who outlined a legal strategy for overturning the 2020 presidential election, has been under investigation since September by the State Bar of California for possible legal and ethical violations, the bar announced Tuesday.

The bar said Eastman may have breached California law and attorney ethics rules in connection to the election, which Eastman suggested could have been overturned with the intervention of then Vice President Mike Pence.

The investigation began after various people and entities alerted the bar to news reports, court filings and other documents relating to Eastman’s conduct, bar Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona said in a statement Tuesday.
