Eastman was a close adviser to the former US president in the run-up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
Conservative lawyer John Eastman has turned himself in to authorities on charges in the Georgia case alleging an illegal plot to overturn former US president Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss.
His bond conditions prohibit him from intimidating co-defendants, witnesses or victims in the case, including on social media. He has a history of attacking the prosecutors leading the cases against him, including Ms Willis, often using racist language and stereotypes. The indictment alleges that Eastman and others pushed to put in place a slate of “alternate” electors falsely certifying that Mr Trump won and tried to pressure Mr Pence into rejecting or delaying the counting of legitimate electoral votes for Democrat Mr Biden.
Former Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark has filed paperwork to transfer the case to federal court Shafer’s lawyers argued that his conduct “stems directly from his service as a Presidential Elector nominee”, actions they say were “at the direction of the President and other federal officers”.
