Former\u00a0President Trump\u2019s\u00a0ex-attorney\u00a0John Eastman\u00a0responded to a California judge’s effort to have him disbarred over his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election saying he’s optimistic he will win his appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eastman said in an interview on conservative network Frank Speech<\/a> on Thursday that \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of water to go under the bridge yet\u201d before the state Supreme Court hears his case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIf the law was faithfully followed, this case should have never been brought in the first place,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a disagreement on the facts of the 2020 election. We had a disagreement on the constitutional interpretation on issues that have never been settled,\u201d Eastman continued. \u201cThat has never been the basis of disciplinary action.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

State Bar Judge Yvette Roland found Eastman culpable in 10 of 11 charges against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn view of the circumstances surrounding Eastman\u2019s misconduct and balancing the aggravation and mitigation, the court recommends that Eastman be disbarred,\u201d she wrote in a 128-page decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also revealed he has been subpoenaed as part of a civil suit brought by a group of Capitol Police officers against Trump. The officers claim Trump is responsible for Jan. 6, and they hope to elicit financial penalties for the violence they suffered in the riots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI just got a subpoena served on us last week by the Capitol Police officers seeking everything, all of my communications with the president and anybody else,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ve completely blown through attorney-client privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While his case is under appeal, Eastman is suspended from practicing law in California.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
