Elizabeth C’de Baca Eastman is a well-known academic, but unlike her lawyer husband, John Eastman, she tends to stay out of the public eye.

In 2023, John Eastman was one of 19 people indicted by a Fulton County grand jury for his role in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election in Georgia.

Elizabeth Eastman’s parents were both born in New Mexico.

Her mother was from Albuquerque.

Her father was from Puerto de Luna in eastern New Mexico.

He grew up on a cattle ranch owned by his father, Eastman’s paternal grandfather.

Eastman’s great-granduncle, Ezequiel C’de Baca, was elected as New Mexico’s first lieutenant governor in 1912, and again as second lieutenant governor in 1917.

Baca was a Democrat.

Eastman earned a bachelor’s degree in Modern French Civilization from Scripps College.

She then went on to receive a master’s degree in Liberal Education from St. John’s College.

She also holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Claremont Graduate School.

Eastman reportedly met her now husband, John, a fellow doctoral student, at Claremont.

It is unknown when exactly the two officially tied the knot.

Eastman’s teaching career has spanned more than 30 years.

She has taught at Chapman University, Azusa Pacific University in California, Roosevelt University in Chicago, and at California State University at Fullerton.

She also worked as a professor or teaching assistant at the University of Colorado Boulder, Rosary College in Lake Forest, Illinois, and Harvey Mudd College.

She teaches a variety of subjects and topics, including political science, history, and philosophy.

Some of her past courses have focused on:

  • Liberal Studies in the Social Sciences

  • Philosophy American Political Thought
  • Democratic Theory
  • American Politics, American Colonial History, the American Revolution, and American Intellectual History
  • Western and World Civilization

All of Eastman’s past courses, including her own articles, reviews, essays, and lectures are available on her website.

In a 2023 written statement for the Albuquerque Journal, Elizabeth Eastman wrote: “I have strived to emulate my family’s commitment to education and public service.”

Eastman has been an active member of the community for decades.

In the 1980s, she was appointed by former Democratic Governor Toney Anaya to the New Mexico Economic Development Board.

She also served on the board of a pregnancy center in Santa Fe.

She currently serves on the New Mexico State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

In 2019, she was guest speaker at the University of Colorado-Boulder’s Conference on World Affairs (CWA).

The CWA “brings together an eclectic mix of intellectuals, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, activists, journalists, philosophers, and policymakers to engage in lively dialogue on the central issues of our time”

Past speakers include President Joe Biden, TV host Rachel Maddow, and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

Eastman currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with her husband, attorney John Eastman.

She is working on a book on citizenship.

Eastman also volunteers as an English as a Second Language Tutor.

Does John Eastman have children?

John and his wife, Elizabeth, aren’t just a married couple.

They’re also the parents of two children.

The Eastmans have one son and one daughter.

Both of their children are already adults, living and working away from home.

Their son is an Astronautical Engineer in Huntsville, Alabama.

Their daughter works in public policy in Washington, D.C.

It is unknown whether their two kids are married or dating anyone, or whether they have any children of their own.

While it’s also unclear where the Eastmans raised their children, it’s safe to say that they spent part of their upbringing in California, since Eastman worked as an attorney in Southern California.

The Eastman family also likely spent some time in New Mexico over the years, as they own a home in Santa Fe.

Their Santa Fe house was used as the family’s vacation home.

In 2018, John and his wife officially settled in Santa Fe, turning their vacation spot into their full-time residence.

What is John Eastman accused of?

John Eastman is an American lawyer and former law professor.

Eastman and former US President Trump met after the November 2020 election to discuss how Trump could remain in power.

Eastman then allegedly crafted a memo detailing a plan to overturn the election, including throwing out election results in multiple states.

He made waves during the 2021 United States Capitol attack on January 6.

Just hours before the storming of the US Capitol, Eastman spoke alongside Rudy Giuliani at the Save America rally.

He told the audience that balloting machines in some states contained secret folders that could alter election results.

During the attack, when then-Vice President Mike Pence had to go into hiding, Pence’s chief counsel Greg Jacob emailed Eastman, stating: “Thanks to your b******t, we are now under siege.” 

Eastman made headlines again on August 14, 2023, when he was indicted by a Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury.

The grand jury in the prosecution alleged that Eastman had a role in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia.

Eastman was one of 19 people in the indictment.

He surrendered on August 22, 2023, and was booked at the Fulton County jail the same day.

On September 5, 2023, he waived his arraignment and entered a written not guilty plea.

Eastman is facing nine charges in Georgia, including:

  • Two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree
  • Two counts of conspiring to commit false statements and writings
  • One count of violating the Georgia RICO Act
  • One count of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer
  • One count of conspiring to impersonate a public officer
  • One count of conspiring to file false documents
  • One count of filing false documents

On Sunday, November 5, 2023, Eastman appeared on the broadcast television show 60 Minutes to discuss his criminal charges.

The interview is available to watch online on the CBS News website.
