(CNN) A judge in Michigan pinned down lawyers in a marathon video court hearing Monday on whether they had done due diligence before filing election fraud claims in federal court in November. The judge on Monday repeatedly asked how much work the lawyers had done to verify the fraud claims. Howard Kleinhendler, who was an architect of the fraud lawsuit alongside Powell , said he rejected "categorically" that it was a publicity stunt for Trump. Wood said he wasn't involved and didn't explicitly agree to help with the Michigan election fraud suit. Several times during the hearing, Wood attempted to speak over others, including the judge, to defend himself.
