During his testimony, Trump’s ex-lawyer echoed one of the former president’s favorite refrains, claiming he has been “persecuted” by federal investigations over the course of the last four years. He also claimed he wrote only one or two paragraphs of the initial complaint that was filed, leaving the majority of the work to local Pennsylvania attorney Ron Hicks, who withdrew from the suit before it was rejected by both federal district and appeals courts.
D.C. Bar investigators subpoenaed each of the law firms involved in the unsuccessful filing, Fox said, obtaining every possible fact that Giuliani used to support election-related filings. In the end, it fell “woefully short” of Giuliani’s proposed remedy: overturning the election in Pennsylvania.
