John Eastman, a onetime attorney to former President Trump, said he and his co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case “did nothing wrong” in an interview with Fox News that aired Tuesday evening.

“We did nothing wrong. We were challenging the election for what even Vice President [Mike] Pence described as serious allegations of fraud and numerous instances of officials violating state law,” Eastman told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham. “And if we can’t speak out about that, then our freedom of speech, our right to petition the government for redress of grievances are gone.”

In the Fox News interview Tuesday, Eastman doubled down on his election fraud claims – claims which Ingraham pushed back against numerous times.

“I had lots of evidence of fraud,” Eastman said.

“I haven’t seen that evidence, and I’m always wanting to see everything…I’d love to see that evidence,” Ingraham said.

    Eastman looks like that guy in 80’s sitcoms that are about to walk up and flash the protagonists. You know. The guy in the brown long coat, the hat. The goofy grin.

    It’s really hard to take anything he says seriously
