Lawyers face fallout from fueling Trump’s false claims of election fraud

Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, could be included in a federal investigation and is facing a disbarment complaint

Prominent lawyers who helped fuel Donald Trump's baseless charges of election fraud to try and thwart Joe Biden's win, are now facing potentially serious legal and financial problems of their own tied to their aggressive echoing of Trump's false election claims, say former Department of Justice lawyers and legal experts.

They include a federal investigation into the Capitol attack by a pro-Trump mob, possible disbarment and a defamation lawsuit.
