Trump Lawyer Sought to Challenge Senate Elections

“John Eastman, the conservative lawyer whose plan to block congressional certification of the 2020 election failed in spectacular fashion on Jan. 6, 2021, sent an email two weeks later arguing that pro-Trump forces should sue to keep searching for the supposed election fraud he acknowledged they had failed to find,” the New York Times reports.

“On Jan. 20, 2021, hours after President Biden’s inauguration, Mr. Eastman emailed Rudolph Giuliani, former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, proposing that they challenge the outcome of the runoff elections in Georgia for two Senate seats that had been won on Jan. 5 by Democrats.”
