Eastman Sidesteps Question About Bypassing Pence

“John Eastman, testifying at his own disbarment trial, sidestepped a question Wednesday about whether he and others in former President Donald Trump’s orbit discussed the possibility that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) — rather than Mike Pence — would preside over the Jan. 6, 2021, session of Congress,” Politico reports.

“Eastman said discussions on that topic were protected by attorney-client privilege. When pressed about which client of his he was referring to, Eastman replied: President Trump.”
