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.
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. The judge then reminded him that this issue was not part of the lawsuit and therefore could not be dealt with in court. Giuliani had to admit that.
Giuliani 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.
