a special committee to look into election trfraud. his committee ended up playing host to rudy giuliani and many of these election deniers related to the trump campaign. you, too oh, i m not going to we love you, rudy. distinguished members of the committee, thank you very much for giving us this hearing. i represent president trump along with jenna ellis. rudy giuliani is in a lot of hot water. this is not someone who might be able to feign they weren t aware of the law. this is somebody who had been known for rico prosecutions as a top prosecutor in new york. mr. merritt reporter: rudy giuliani wasn t the only surprise appearance. the news media were not the usual characters. people liked epic times, newsmax, all of these various news outlets that had a very
integrity of the election here in georgia. we didn t have a clue he didn t have a clue what he was talking about. i m like, he s wrong. part of what he is accused of doing is trying to persuade members of the legislative branch in georgia using false information, using outright lies, to try to get them to act against the interests of the people and the voters of georgia. it s a very serious charge. reporter: the december 3rd hearing wouldn t be the only appearance by giuliani and other trump allies in the peach state. giuliani appeared at two other hearings in front of the georgia legislature. in december, 2020, he continued to push the debunked claims of fraud. there are ten ways to demonstrate that this election was stolen, that the votes were phony, that there were a lot of them, dead people, felons, phony ballots.
video had been selectively edited. they found their magical suitcase full of ballots. when i look at it, that s a ballot carrier, sealed ballot carriers, which is a normal thing you d have in elections. they intentionally misled the state senate in order to push the narrative and get the election thrown out. reporter: he lied? yeah. never backed off from it. reporter: the fbi and the department of justice also got involved in chasing the allegations. both came to the same conclusion as the secretary of state s office. my opinion then and my opinion now is that the election was not stolen by fraud. reporter: there was no illegal activity by the election workers. [ cheers ] there has to be a villain or the enemy, and in this hearing in particular, the villain really was the election workers in fulton county. there is more than ample evidence to conclude that this election was a sham.
your family members. my wife mostly. and she got she got the more vile, you know, personal kind of stuff. state patrol and heightened security and bomb-sniffing dogs. it was a website that formed that put a picture of my house and my address and my name and my kids names. you should go to jail. are you judas. you re a traitor. you ve committed treason. reporter: the december 3rd hearing would bring even more chaos to the state in the aftermath of the election when a then little-known attorney appeared. what do you remember about john eastman s presentation that day? i thought it was ridiculous. these significant statutory violations are in my view more than enough. he saw it as the duty of the legislature to step in, basically throw out the will of georgia voters, and for the legislature to convene a special session and appoint their own republican alternate electors. i don t think it s just your authority to do that, but frankly i think you have a duty to do that, t
okay, that s a crime. reporter: freeman and moss later testified in front of the january 6th committee about vile, racist threats they received. this turned my life upside down. i don t want to go anywhere. i second-guess everything that i do. it s affected my life in a major way. in every way. all because of lies. reporter: giuliani conceded as part of a civil lawsuit that he made defamatory statements about the two election workers. nearly every other georgia election official who stood up to the lies received similar threats. [ chants ] [ cheers ] get text, a personal cell number was doxxed. reporter: it wasn t just you,
