John Eastman is Team Trump's choice for the January 6 scapegoat.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 27 23
- With the Justice Department and the Jan. 6 committee looking into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, he and his associates could use a patsy, and it appears they've found one: right-wing lawyer John Eastman.
- Eastman worked as an attorney for Trump, devising legal techniques to overturn the election and retain the departing president in power.
- Indeed, Trump has kept his mouth quiet on Eastman, a lawyer whose work proved central to the scandalous efforts to overturn President Biden's 2020 victory.
- Trump advisors have also kept silent on the matter of Eastman.
