In court, Giuliani argues to block Biden win in Pennsylvania

WILLIAMSPORT, PA. » Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, returned to federal court Tuesday after a long hiatus to accuse Democrats in control of big cities of hatching a nationwide conspiracy to steal the election, even though no such evidence has emerged in the two weeks since Election Day.

The court case is over the Trump campaign’s federal lawsuit seeking to prevent Pennsylvania officials from certifying the vote results.

Lawyers defending the Democratic secretary of state, Philadelphia and several counties said the Trump campaign’s arguments lack any constitutional basis or were rendered irrelevant by a state Supreme Court decision Tuesday.

They asked U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann to throw out the case, calling the allegations “at best, garden-variety irregularities” that would not warrant throwing out Pennsylvania’s election results, which delivered a victory for President- elect Joe Biden.
