The conversation, which aired in two parts on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, was predictably genial, with Ingraham allowing Eastman to make dubious claims without significant pushback.
The attorney who tried his best to help Trump find a legal loophole to escape eviction from the White House has repeatedly endorsed debunked and nonsensical assertions about fraud in the 2020 election.
You know, like the thing about boxes of ballots being under a table in Georgia or the laughable assertions of Dinesh D’Souza’s film “2000 Mules.” Stuff that good-faith observers of the election should have set aside long ago.
A more significant one is that Trump and his allies used the delay triggered by the riot to continue to cajole legislators to block the electors from states won by Joe Biden.
“Some people had urged that Vice President Pence simply had power to reject electors whose certification was still pending,” Eastman said later in the Fox News interview, prompting Ingraham to say that she didn’t agree with that argument.
“Lee received a two-page memo from the White House on Saturday, January 2, authored by legal scholar John Eastman,” Woodward and Costa write later.
