I’m sure you are very familiar with the incredible and sweeping lawfare assault that I have faced over the past couple of years.
Lawfare radicals have targeted me for persecution at the federal level and in three states. They want to strip me of my reputation, my livelihood and my freedom. In short, they want to ruin me and throw me in prison for decades to come.
I’m writing today to share information about one of the architects of this lawfare assault so that you a have a clear understanding about what my family and I are up against.

Have you heard of the States United Democracy Center? Most likely you haven’t. This is one of the most loathsome lawfare groups in the country that is funded by leftwing radicals.
I’ll get into the shocking details of what this radical lawfare group has done to engineer lawfare attacks against me, but I first have to mention a key consequence of those attacks. I’ve been forced to raise $1.5 million to pay for legal bills incurred thus far, and am looking at needing at least that much more going forward. My legal defense fund is exhausted.
I urgently need immediate help to fight back against the lawfare left and continue my defense. Will you make a generous donation today to my legal defense fund?
In October 2021, the States United Democracy Center filed an ethics complaint against me before the California State Bar demanding an investigation into my representation of President Trump. A month later they filed additional allegations.
In March 2022, the State Bar announced that they were launching an investigation along the lines of what States Unted Democracy Center had demanded. They even “thanked” the lawfare group for serving as a starting point for the inquisition they were about to launch.
Even as the Bar process was unfolding in California, States United filed a new bar complaint in Washington DC, seeking to have me disbarred there as well. That’s on top of an additional complaint filed by a related lawfare group seeking the same action from the US Supreme Court.
Formal ethics charges were filed against me by the California State Bar in early 2023. This began an exhaustive (and exhausting) process of extraordinarily expensive litigation culminating with a historic ten-week long trial before a State Bar judge.
This was the longest and most expensive Bar proceeding ever conducted in California. It was also the most biased and unfair.
Bar prosecutors focused intently on preventing my legal team from presenting evidence that showed my representation of President Trump to be lawful and above board. The judge was only happy to sustain the Bar prosecutor’s attempts to silence my team.
It’s not a surprise that the judge has now recommended that my law license be terminated. I am appealing this outrageous recommendation, but I can’t practice law in California in the meantime.

But that’s not where the architect of the lawfare assault against me ended their attacks.
In a shocking revelation, my legal team was recently informed that Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has been colluding with the States United Democracy Center to direct my prosecution! She apparently hired them to write a “prosecution memo” – which basically is a script laying out how the prosecution should proceed – and Mayes is following that script!
The damage that States United Democracy Center has done to my reputation and finances is considerable, but I am determined to defeat their assault against me.
I hope you will step forward with a generous donation to the John Eastman Legal Defense Fund of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or $1,000 or more.
The lawfare left is able to raise massive sums from leftwing donors who want to advance their agenda. Lawfare is an entirely political ploy to damage people like me who possess the skills and the willingness to stand up to the left’s radical ideologies. One of the founders of a lawfare group helped fund $85 million in Super PAC donations to Democrats in 2020, and then went after people like me who challenged them.
The States United Democracy Center is truly an architect of the lawfare assault I am facing. We cannot let them win. Please give generouslyto support my defense team.
Thank you for whatever you can do. Please keep me and my family in your prayers.
Sincerely,
John Eastman
