Since I began putting on my case in early September, we’ve heard lots of evidence of illegality and outright fraud in the conduct of the 2020 election – more than enough to support the statements I made at the time and for which the bar is accusing me of making false statements. |

Sept 25,2023 – Six long weeks
The outrageous prosecution of me by California state bar officials enters its sixth week with the trial resuming on Tuesday. The term “prosecution” is really not apt. It’s more like persecution by activist lawyers determined to “get” President Trump and every lawyer like me who had the temerity to defend his right to lawfully challenge illegalities in the 2020 election.
This whole affair has been a prime example of the “lawfare” into which our system of justice has degenerated.
The crux of the State Bar’s case against me is its claim that there was no evidence of significant fraud in the 2020 presidential elections and my legal filings on behalf of President Trump and my public statements to the contrary show that I am unfit to be a lawyer.
But a funny thing happened once I got to start putting on my case – all of the election illegality and fraud that we all saw with our own eyes back in 2020 finally began to get its day in court, and the testimony of my witnesses has been eye-opening.

The targeting of me by leftwing prosecutors and state bar officials is nothing short of lawfare. There are two important reasons these radicals are misusing their positions of power to go after me:
First, they hate President Trump and they want to destroy him and anyone who has the temerity to defend his right to lawfully challenge the many illegalities in the 2020 election.Continue reading
Sept 7, 2023 – “American Despotism”
As I’m preparing for yet another day of testimony in the California Bar trial — today will be the 7th day, approaching 20 hours — and watching closely the ongoing court proceedings in the Georgia criminal indictment against me, former President Trump, and a host of other lawyers and citizens who dared to challenge the illegality in the 2020 election, an important article from Newt Gingrich crossed my radar.
Sep 05, 2023 – No, Jennifer Rubin, Dr John Eastman’s Defense is Not Doing Poorly
Former Republican Jennifer Rubin wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post last week criticizing Trump attorney John Eastman’s defense in the California bar disbarment trial against him. Unlike her, I’ve watched every minute of the trial, which is going into the third week. The bar is desperately trying to show there was no legal authority for Eastman to advise Trump that Mike Pence could have rejected electoral slates from states suspected of election fraud, but as more evidence comes out, their case is getting weaker and weaker.
Aug 29, 2023 – Ingraham Angle, and Mugshots
Well, the media is having a heyday with President Trump’s mugshot, but is anyone surprised that he turned it into a fundraiser? One clever soul even turned the collection of mugshots into a “Batman edition.” I made it into the collection as Mr. Freeze! Fun stuff aside, this indictment is deadly serious, and a real threat not just to our political system but, by naming the attorneys, to our adversarial system of justice as well.
Aug 23, 2023 – Georgia and Media
Well — I was booked yesterday in Fulton County, Georgia, for my work representing President Trump in the 2020 election challenges. Quite a travesty.
Aug 18, 2023 – Georgia
As you have undoubtedly seen, the Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney, Fani Willis, filed a 41 count indictment against President Trump and 18 others (including yours truly, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, etc.) late Monday evening, alleging that our efforts to highlight and have investigated election illegality and fraud were somehow part of a criminal conspiracy.

Lots of news this week, and my team of attorneys is doing a terrific job responding to numerous media requests from around the world and rebutting some of the more egregious mischaracterizations contained in the Trump indictment this week.
