Mark Aronchick, Lawyer Who Went Head-To-Head With Rudy, Has Lower Merion Connection

In an interview with CNN’s Jim Sciutto last night, attorney Mark Aronchick described yesterday’s hearing in a Federal Court in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Aronchick was representing several county election boards that were among the defendants in a complaint filed by  Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. 

Former New York City Mayor, and Trump confidant, Rudy Giuliani was representing “Team Trump.” In his complaint, Trump is asking the court to enjoin Pennsylvania Secretary of State, Kathy Boockvar from certifying the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania.

Aronchick told Sciutto that “this was one of the strangest court appearances I’ve ever had. We were there to deal with a complaint. And the complaint that the Trump Campaign filed was that the Philadelphia and other election administrators were doing some things that they didn’t think were right in the administration of the mail-in voting. The complaint had nothing about fraud, nothing about giant conspiracies. But in walked Mr. Giuliani, and he talked only about fraud, gigantic conspiracies – the kinds of things that we heard at the driveway of the Total Landscaping press conference. But it bore no relationship to what we were actually doing there in court. And so I listened for a while, and I realilzed that I had to do two things. One, was to deal with the rather outrageous statements that he was making throughout his presentation. And the other was then to focus the court on what we were really there for. Because when you look at the complaint, and what was really involved in this case; it was a bunch of small-ball complaints that various administrators didn’t do some things correctly – when we think the administrators were doing the very best they could to run a fair and honest election.”
