Trump Lawyers Sought to Overturn Election Despite Doubts, Emails Show

Lawyers working for Trump recognized the legal cases had little chance of succeeding but pursued them anyway for political gain.
Emails show the lawyers hoped lawsuits would fuel debate in Congress over alleged election irregularities.
One lawyer believed lawsuits could create the impression the Wisconsin election was rigged, despite poor legal prospects.
Another lawyer tied chances of success not to legal merits but to justices' willingness to intervene in the election.
The lawyers now face charges related to their post-election work in Georgia.
