Members of former President Donald Trump’s legal team criticized Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for trying to overturn the election results in Iowa’s Second Congressional District.

The Daily Caller spoke with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, who were both members of Trump’s legal team and fought to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Both slammed Pelosi’s efforts to overturn the election where Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks defeated Democrat Rita Hart by six votes, in what was the closest congressional election since 1984.

Hart has been pushing Democrats on the House Administration Committee and on the floor to overturn Iowa’s certification of the election and seat her, which has picked up support from Pelosi.

“Pelosi’s actions are, yet another, indication of the Democrat Party’s desire for a one-party America. Further demonstrated by President Joe Biden’s remark that he has ‘no idea if there will be a Republican Party’ in 2024. What else do we need to figure out their agenda?” Giuliani told the Daily Caller.

Trump spokesman Jason Miller said in February that “Mayor Giuliani is not currently representing President Trump in any legal matters.”

Ellis, who now hosts “Just The Truth,” a podcast, said that Democrats went after Trump’s legal team for trying to make sure all votes were fairly counted in the 2020 presidential election and criticized Pelosi for trying to overturn election results.

“Democrats continue to show their utter disdain for the rule of law, free and fair elections, and the American people. Democrats only care about manipulating outcomes to their advantage. Pelosi pretended it was disenfranchisement for Team Trump to want to ensure that every legal vote was counted accurately and protect election integrity. But now she’ll challenge the outcome of an election on a whim,” Ellis told the Daily Caller.

“Democrats don’t want to make the rules fair for everyone and play by them. They are manipulating and destroying the system to protect their own power,” Ellis added.

Pelosi was asked about the election in a March 14 interview, to which she said: “Well, it was six votes. It was six votes and our candidate Rita Hart, the Democratic candidate, asked for this process to begin.”

Miller-Meeks expressed her frustration with the Democrats’ decision to try and overturn the election in an interview with Special Report on Fox News.

“Everybody across the country should be outraged by this,” Miller-Meeks said. “I certainly have been encouraged by those people across the country who have reached out to me and told me they’re contacting their representatives to let them know their displeasure.”

The Daily Caller contacted Pelosi’s office about Trump’s former lawyers criticizing the Speaker to which they did not immediately respond.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
