A judge has recommended that conservative lawyer John Eastman lose his California law licence over his efforts to keep former president Donald Trump in power after the 2020 election.

Mr Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges in the state bar court stemming from his development of a legal strategy to have then-vice president Mike Pence interfere with President Joe Biden’s victory certification.
