A high-profile disbarment trial in California added a new tension-filled chapter on Thursday, as John Eastman, a skeptic of the 2020 Georgia election result, was called to the stand for his defense.
Eastman’s report have previously claimed that Georgia had included votes from “at least 873” deceased individuals in the final tally of the state’s election results. However, under scrutiny, the witness struggled to substantiate this assertion. Eastman admitted that he could not recall the origins of this claim, putting his defense on shaky grounds.
This episode adds further complexity to an already contentious trial, and raises questions about the validity of the witnesses’ reports in relation to the contested Georgia election results.
