Trump Lawyer Ousted as Law School Professor
A lawyer who represented the Trump campaign in a legal challenge to the Pennsylvania election results was forced out of his post last week as a law professor at Chapman University in California for representing President Donald Trump as a client.
But what especially earned the ire of left-wing activists at the famous conservative legal scholar’s school was that John C. Eastman spoke alongside the president at the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington. Violence began at the U.S. Capitol during certification of the presidential election results while the rally was still going on at the other end of the Washington Mall. There is no evidence that Eastman, or Trump, did anything unlawful by speaking at the rally.
“Good lawyers do not make claims without evidence, and these lawyers don’t have any evidence,” Michael D. Gilbert, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, told The Washington Times. “Perpetrating fraud on the scale these lawyers imagine would require hundreds of officials, including Republicans, across multiple states and branches of government to conspire successfully no traces, no leaks, no defections. That’s utterly implausible.”
Months earlier, the three, who have not backed off their claims, were basking in their successes.
Ms. Powell, a blunt Texas appeals litigator, had freed retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump‘s first national security adviser who came to symbolize the FBI’s unfair war against the president. Ms. Powell also forced the exposure of secret FBI documents showing, she said, that agents entrapped her client.

Rudy Giuliani told ABC News that he would not be able to represent President Donald Trump during Trump s second impeachment trial because he was a witness in the case.
Giuliani appeared with Trump at the January 6 Save America rally where Trump is accused of inciting an insurrection and where Giuliani called for trial by combat.
It was widely expected that Giuliani, who served as lead counsel on the president s various challenges to the 2020 election, would head up Trump s impeachment legal team.
Rudy Giuliani now says he won t be a part of President Donald Trump s impeachment defense team.
