Rudy Giuliani Wants ‘Trial by Combat’ Over 2020 Election Results excerpt: “So over the next ten days, we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent. And if we are wrong we will be made fools of. But if we are right, a lot of them will go to jail,” Giuliani said to loud cheers. “So let’s have trial by combat! I’m willing to stake my reputation, the president is willing to stake his reputation on the fact that we’re going to find criminality there.” Trump and his allies have lost scores of lawsuits challenging the election results in state and federal courts and state election officials have roundly debunked Team Trump’s allegations of widespread voter fraud. Furthermore, lawyers for Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems have warned Giuliani to expect legal action over his unfounded and false claims about the companies.

They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!” Trump tweeted. His message came after several lawmakers spoke out about the threats to the Capitol. U.S. Capitol Police locked down the building earlier Wednesday as demonstrators surrounded House and Senate office buildings. Trump has for days encouraged supporters to demonstrate in support of his efforts to overturn the election results on Jan. 6, the day that Congress meets to certify the Electoral College votes certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win. Republicans and former White House officials urged Trump to more forcefully condemn the violence following his tweet. “The President's tweet is not enough. He can stop this now and needs to do exactly that. Tell these folks to go home,” tweeted Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s former chief of staff."
