(Mr. Trump and Mr. Giuliani, among others, have said they did nothing wrong and have cast the charges as politically motivated.)
It is still far from clear whether Mr. Trump and his allies who face charges will ultimately be convicted.
In addition to the criminal charges, several lawyers who pushed baseless election claims in court are facing disbarment.
