The California Bar Association filed a notice with the state supreme court that it wants to proceed with all due speed with the expulsion hearing for Trump lawyer, indicted co-conspirator and likely unindicted co-conspirator John Eastman, despite Eastman facing nine criminal counts in Fulton County, Georgia.
The Bar argues that the charges outlined in the Georgia case parallel the reasons for Eastman’s removal from the Bar. “While it is no longer uncertain whether respondent will be indicted on criminal charges, and many of the allegations in the Fulton County indictment are related to the issues in the State Bar case, the prejudice to the State Bar and the public interest in resolving the State Bar case weigh in favor of completing the trial.”
