Attorney Lin Wood tweeted on Friday that Vice President Mike Pence should be arrested for treason and executed by firing squad. The staunch supporter of President Donald Trump also blamed Chief Justice John Roberts and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the election results. According to Business Insider, Wood's remarks triggered some Republicans to issue tweets to distance themselves from him. Among them were Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis, and the conservative high school student Nicholas Sandmann. In recent weeks, Wood has filed or joined lawsuits to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. Wood has also cited conspiracy theories in the past.
Jill Stein was the US Green Party's 2016 candidate for president. Business Insider reports that she owes the Federal Election Commission more than $66,000 in campaign finance violations. In 2016 Stein raised $7.3 million for a recount. In December 2016, Stein promised that her donors would get to vote on how to spend these surplus funds. That never happened. Instead, Stein spent millions on election-related litigation in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. She gave raises and "performance bonuses" to her core 2016 campaign staff. She spent $113,000 on her legal defense before the US Senate's Russia investigation.
