Rudy Giuliani, personal attorney to US President Donald Trump, speaks as sweat runs down his cheek during a news conference about the 2020 US presidential election. Sidney Powell, another member of Trump's legal team, piled on by falsely claiming the president won the election. Trump, who has barely been seen in public since losing the election, cheered on his lawyers from the White House.

Trump's campaign has filed lawsuits alleging electoral fraud in a number of states since the Nov. 3 election, with scant success so far.
