Trump attorney John Eastman called a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice as his first witness while he defends his law license on state bar claims of ethical and legal violations.
Michael Gableman testified in the California State Bar Court on Thursday about a legislative audit he led of the 2020 Wisconsin elections system. The investigative report was presented to the Wisconsin State Assembly on March 1, 2022, about reported irregularities including drop boxes and absentee ballots, concluding the legislature could decertify elections.
The report that was panned by state Attorney General Josh Kaul (D) as a “train wreck” and by Gov. Tony Evers (D) as a “circus” that “has never been a serious or functioning effort, it has lacked public accountability and transparency, and it has been a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars.”
Eastman maintains the 2020 election contained errors that cost Trump the election. The former Chapman University law dean was indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges in the plan to declare Donald Trump as winner of the presidential election.
The State Bar of California has charged Eastman with violating 11 ethical and statutory obligations in his role post-election that culminated in the Jan. 6 raid on the US Capitol. The conservative legal scholar could lose his license to practice law there if the charges are sustained. Bar prosecutors rested their case Thursday.
