Donald Trump lawyer John Eastman has been temporarily suspended from practicing law in the District of Columbia in response to a similar prohibition by a California judge.
The suspension is temporary until the final disposition of the California proceeding, DC Court of Appeals Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby wrote Friday.
California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland on May 1 rejected Eastman’s attempt to lift his suspension in that state, saying his disbarment would “safeguard the public” after he made false claims about the 2020 election. The California Supreme Court will make the final determination.
Eastman is one of several former Trump lawyers facing sanctions. Rudolph Giuliani and Kenneth Chesebro have also had their licenses suspended, and Jeffrey Clark faces possible disbarment after a DC Bar committee on April 4 preliminarily found he violated at least one ethics rule by lying about alleged election fraud.
In California, Roland in March found that Eastman should be disbarred for knowingly making false claims about Trump winning the 2020 presidential election.
