Greetings from Williamsport, PA where Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani just arrived for a hearing on Trump suit trying to block certification of Biden win in the state
There are about 50 Trump supporters in a Wegman's parking lot across the street, chanting "Stop the steal!" "Dead people can't vote" and "Four more years!" But as Rudy arrived they broke out into "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!"
Rudy is sitting in the courtroom now at counsel table. I believe Linda Kerns the PA local counsel is sitting next to him. Hearing seems like it is about to start...
Raucous outside as passing cars and trucks in this Trump stronghold honk in support of the demonstrators. One even sounded a Dukes of Hazzard Dixie horn.
Hearing underway now...roll call of the many lawyers...a bunch counties being sued here so they have lawyers....also intervenors
Giuliani says they're looking to file a third complaint. Says due process count was 'mistakenly deleted' ...Judge will take that up later
Giuliani says he's here because of 'widespread nationwide voter fraud'
Judge has paused the hearing because the phone lines have dropped. He says 8000 people were dialed in. Trying to sort it out. The break came as attorney Dan Donovan was rebutting Giuliani's arguments....
Judge Matthew Brann says the PA Supreme Court just ruled, 5-2, that Philadelphia acted within state law in its handling of election observers....Still taking a break to address tech issues
Hearing back underway now as Trump crowd outside sings Battle Hymn of the Republic
