Defending His Actions! Former Trump Lawyer John Eastman Enters Not Guilty Plea in Election Rigging Allegations
Former Trump lawyer John Eastman entered a not guilty plea on Friday to allegations he was involved in a plot to have the 2020 election results in Arizona rigged.
Almost a dozen Trump supporters, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and former Trump assistant Boris Epshteyn, were accused in the state last month. Eastman is one of them.
After being arraigned, Eastman stated outside the courthouse, “I pleaded not guilty. I did not communicate with Arizona voters in any way, nor did I participate in any legislative hearings or election-related lawsuits in the state. And I have no doubt that after this process, I will be completely cleared provided the law is scrupulously followed.”

Following the 2020 presidential contest, Eastman allegedly attempted to manipulate Arizona’s election results by assembling a different group of electors to the electoral college. Additionally, he worked on developing a strategy to prevent Congress from endorsing the results of the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021.
Eastman’s actions could have negative effects on his career, such as disbarment. A judge in California suggested in March that he be prohibited from the state.
Ten more suspects in the Arizona case are scheduled to be arraigned next week.
