John Eastman
person
John Eastman authored a legal memo arguing that Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to reject certified Electoral College votes on January 6 — a theory rejected by virtually all constitutional scholars and by Pence himself. Eastman was disbarred in California for his role in attempting to overturn the election. He was indicted in both the federal case and the Fulton County RICO case.
Rudy Giuliani

Rudy Giuliani served as Trump's lead attorney in challenging the 2020 election results. He promoted debunked conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems and other baseless fraud claims, including the infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference. Giuliani was disbarred in New York and Washington D.C. for making false statements about the election. He was found liable for defaming Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss and ordered to pay $148 million in damages.
