| In a 128-page ruling, the judge, Yvette Roland, said Mr.

| vice president, Mike Pence, could unilaterally declare him
| the victor during a certification proceeding at the Capitol
| on Jan. 6, 2021.
|
| "In sum, Eastman exhibited gross negligence by making false
| statements about the 2020 election without conducting any
| meaningful investigation or verification of the information
| he was relying upon," Judge Roland found, adding that he
| had breached "his ethical duty as an attorney to prioritize
| honesty and integrity."
