Just as he was targeted by the Jan. 6th committee, former Trump lawyer John Eastman took a trip to Wisconsin to push Republican officials to decertify the 2020 election. Via ABC News:
Eastman, a right-wing lawyer who drafted a plan for former President Donald Trump to cling to power by falsely claiming then-Vice President Mike Pence could reject legitimate electors during the 2020 presidential election, was part of a small group of Trump allies who secured a private meeting last month to try and convince the Republican leader of the Wisconsin state Assembly to decertify President Joe Biden's win, multiple sources familiar with the meeting told ABC.
On March 16, Eastman and others spent nearly two hours behind closed doors pressuring Republican Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to nullify the 2020 election and reclaim the electors awarded to Biden, the sources said, which legal experts say is impossible.
[...] Eastman in the meeting urged Vos to decertify the election, sources familiar with the meeting said. According to Jefferson Davis, a Wisconsin activist pushing to reverse Biden's victory who was also in the meeting, Trump's former lawyer pushed Vos to start "reclaiming the electors" and move forward with "either a do over or having a new slate of electors seated that would declare someone else the winner."
[...] Following the meeting, Vos reiterated his position that the 2020 election can't be decertified. Vos, however, has pushed claims of widespread election fraud and was held in contempt by a judge last month for failing to turn over documents related to a Republican-led investigation he had launched himself in May 2021 into the 2020 election.
He went to several other states, including Colorado:
During the meeting, Eastman boasted about his involvement in election lawsuits in Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin and decried the "attacks" that he and others who push election conspiracies have experienced, calling it "pure evil," according to a video of the meeting posted by FEC United.

Far right extremism at its "finest".
It's not like they are running an investigation into something that was fabricated by the losing party.
17 months after the election, one of Trump's lawyers is still trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential contest. Does that strike you as sane?
We went 4 years after the 2016 election where Democrats were trying the same thing. But lets ignore that fact...
Totally ridiculous. You should care more about your credibility.
That you ignore facts like that, I agree. But you're going to do it anyway.
So, you have nothing and resort to attacking me.
Democrats did not pursue overturning the 2016 election 17 months after the fact. Or even one month after the fact. Your lying about it proves nothing.
I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
You're the only one ignoring truth, facts, and reality here.
Seriously John? The Dems immediately went on the offensive....the fake collusion accusations, the baseless impeachment attempts....
You are hilarious. Your own video shows Joe Biden shutting down "debate" over these sparse allegations.
There is no comparison between what Democrats did after the 2016 election and when Trump and his minions have done after 2020. To claim otherwise is simply gaslighting.
And I dont know why we have to endlessly go through this bullshit.
Fake?
Baseless?
What fact?
That isn't a fact.
Plus I've never seen you provide any facts on any subject.
