Donald Trump’s lawyer has been duped by “Borat,” summoned to a press conference in a parking lot, and this week got a lead in court comeback after a 28-year layoff.
The weekend after the presidential election, a press conference was held at the elegant Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia, a four-star hotel near the city center with its own spa and several function rooms. Here, Trump’s team was to explain their allegations of voter fraud.
But it turned out that a mistake had occurred, and a press conference was held in the parking lot of a horticultural company also called “Four Seasons,” located between a sex shop and a crematorium on the outskirts of Philadelphia.
Here, presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani (76) announced that there would be a flood of lawsuits from the president’s team. But since the vast majority of these have been rejected in court, Giuliani himself has taken responsibility. According to The New York Times, he charges $ 20,000 a day to work.

Be mayor
Giuliani, a popular former New York mayor, has been controversial as Trump’s personal attorney. American intelligence believes that he has been misled by misinformation from the Russian authorities, and just before the elections, the makers of the movie “Borat” taunted him with a hidden camera.

The night before Norwegian time Wednesday, Giuliani seemed somewhat confused when, for the first time in three decades, he brought a case in federal court, writes the Washington Post.
The Trump campaign’s hopes of winning the presidential election in court were not bolstered by Giuliani’s efforts in court this week. It was the first time since the 1990s that Giuliani took a case to federal court, and Judge Matthew W. Brann appeared multiple times to lose patience with the attorney, writes the Washington Post.

Stop the election result
The case that Giuliani had brought to court was the Republicans’ attempt to stop the approval of the election result in Pennsylvania. Giuliani’s case is based on the fact that two voters who voted for Trump were not allowed to change their ballots after a mistake, which they claim Biden’s voters were able to do.
– You claim that you refused to vote for two individual applicants. But basically, you are asking this court to invalidate more than 6.8 million votes. Can you tell me how this can be justified? Said the judge.
Giuliani replied that it was only a question of invalidating 680,000 votes, since Republican observers could not attend the vote. But Giuliani had forgotten that part of the suit had been withdrawn by his own team.
– The accusations surrounding the observers were withdrawn, they are no longer a case reported to this court, so why should I consider them? Asked the judge.
Giuliani responded that they would file the lawsuit again, a third time, and would reconsider this claim.
Confused
The 76-year-old man appeared confused multiple times, writes the Washington Post. Among other things, he did not understand what the judge meant when a deadline was set on Wednesday to file a response to the other party’s claim to dismiss the lawsuit.
In another exchange, it was the word opacity that confused Giuliani.
– I’m not quite sure what that means. Does that probably mean you can see?
– That means you can’t, answered the judge.
