John Eastman, the former Chapman University professor who rose to prominence as a key architect of the “fake elector” plot following the 2020 presidential election, is facing increasingly dire legal consequences. A California review panel has affirmed a judge’s recommendation that he be disbarred, marking a significant blow to his professional career.

Eastman’s Disbarment Recommendation Affirmed

On June 13, 2025, a three-judge review panel upheld the previous ruling recommending Eastman’s disbarment. The 103-page decision strongly condemns Eastman’s conduct during his depiction of former President Donald Trump, stating that it “had a negative impact on the judicial system and the administration of justice.” The disbarment stems from eastman’s efforts to disrupt the electoral count on january 6, 2021, his false statements, and his violation of his duties as a lawyer by attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
