    While Eastman has yet to provide any documentation to support his claims of attorney-client relationships, investigations have revealed that he was part of a wide-ranging conspiracy to help Trump retain power after losing the election, including being present at Trump's "Command Center" in the Willard Hotel on Jan. 5th.
