MAGA lawyer Lin Wood gives up his law license ahead of potential disbarment

If former President Donald Trump is going to file legal challenges against the results of the 2024 presidential election, he will have to do so without the help of attorney Lin Wood.

Local news station WNCT reports that Wood, a conspiracy theory-spouting lawyer who tried in vain to get courts to throw out President Joe Biden's 2020 election win, has asked officials in his home state of Georgia to "retire" his law license ahead of disciplinary proceedings against him that could have potentially led to his disbarment.

With this move, Wood acknowledged that he is now "prohibited from practicing law in this State and in any other state or jurisdiction and that I may not reapply for admission."

Wood is not the only Trump lawyer facing potential disbarment, as attorney John Eastman, the author of the infamous so-called "coup memo" that outlined how Vice President Mike Pence could block the certification of President Joe Biden's victory, is currently facing the prospect of disbarment in California.

In addition to this, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani had his law license suspended for his efforts to keep Trump in power, and Trump lawyer Sidney Powell was hit with sanctions in the state of Michigan for her false claims about the 2020 election in that state.
