An attorney representing President Donald Trump, John Eastman, is known for recently pushing a racist conspiracy theory -- that Trump himself later amplified -- claiming Vice President-elect Kamala Harris might not be eligible for the role because her parents were immigrants.
Eastman wrote the Newsweek column that was widely discredited earlier this year and that Trump cited from the briefing room.
"I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements," Trump said of Harris in August. "I have no idea if that's right. I would have thought, I would have assumed, that the Democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice president."
At the time, Trump also praised Eastman as a talented and qualified lawyer.
