The U.S. Supreme Court should suspend and disbar former Trump lawyer John Eastman from practice before the justices because of his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, according to a complaint filed by The 65 Project.

The 65 Project, a nonprofit organization named after the 65 lawsuits challenging the 2020 results, seeks to hold accountable lawyers who engage in “attempts to subvert American Democracy.” The project filed the Eastman complaint with the high court’s clerk. The complaint also requests that Justice Clarence Thomas recuse himself from considering the matter because of “his personal connections” to Eastman and his wife’s efforts to change the election results.
