Summary
John Eastman, a former law professor and attorney for Donald Trump, is actively fundraising for his legal defense as he faces multiple criminal charges and disciplinary proceedings related to his actions surrounding the 2020 presidential election. His current goal is to raise $1.5 million to cover legal fees, which he estimates will total between $3 million and $3.5 million.
In September 2024, Eastman celebrated some perceived progress in his legal battles while acknowledging the challenges ahead. He is embroiled in disciplinary actions from the California State Bar, which accuses him of serious ethical violations, including dishonesty and willful misconduct. Despite some charges being dismissed in Georgia, he still faces significant legal hurdles, including a racketeering conspiracy charge. Eastman has utilized platforms like GiveSendGo to solicit donations, increasing his fundraising target over time as his legal expenses mount. He argues that the efforts against him are politically motivated and aims to continue his advocacy for constitutional rights amid what he describes as “lawfare” against him.
