President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani tried to reel in one of his witnesses who claimed to have witnessed election fraud at a two-day hearing in Michigan.
One of Rudy Giuliani's witnesses speaking at the Michigan House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday claimed she saw poll workers running ballots through voting machines 'thousands of times'.
Mellissa Carone claimed to have worked as a contractor for Dominion Voting System. At one point during the hearing, a state representative Steve Johnson said she should be testifying under oath.
But in response, the 33-year-old said she 'had an affidavit'.
'I am a mother, I have two children, I have two degrees. I don't know any woman in the world that would write an affidative under oath just to write it. You can go to prison for this,' she said.
She also repeatedly spoke over the lawmaker, raising her voice, at which point Giuliani was seen leaning over and appearing to 'shush' her.

Carone's affidavit was included in the Michigan lawsuit that the Trump team filed in hopes of stopping the election certification of Wayne County, the Daily Beast reports.
Not only was the request denied by a judge, but the same judge said that Carone's allegations were 'simply not credible.'
Carone explained during the hearing that while working as a contractor, workers were shuttled to a facility called the 'Chicago warehouse' where she witnessed a majority of the alleged fraud.
'I know for a fact that there was illegal activity going on there,' Carone declared at the hearing, claiming that people had 'pictures' of boxes being carried out of the warehouse.
At one point during the hearing, Carone engaged in a tense exchange with GOP Rep. Steve Johnson when he questioned some of her allegations. She repeatedly referenced an affidavit that she signed as a means to give credence to her allegations.

President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani speaks during an appearance before the Michigan House Oversight Committee on December 2
Carrone worked for Ford before being laid off and said she was recruited to work for Dominion through an agency. She lives in a Wayne County suburb of Detroit with her fiance.
She claimed that she was unable to get work in the wake of making her claims about election fraud.
'My life has been destroyed,' she said. 'I've lost family, I've lost friends. I've had to change my phone number. I've had to get rid of social media.
'I can't even get an actual job anymore because Democrats like to ruin their lives, that's why, like they did to Trump.'
Carone had taken part in a 'stop the steal' protest earlier this month, and after her affidavit was made public, appeared on a series of pro-Trump broadcast outlets, including Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs.
Despite claiming to have 'got rid of social media' she posted pictures with Giuliani and Ellis after the hearing.
The woman's comments follow a series of cringeworthy moments that have plagued Giuliani's efforts to swing the election in favor for President Donald Trump by claiming that there was massive voter fraud in the election.
Another witness hauled in by Giuliani claimed that 'all Chinese look alike' when advocating for voter ID requirement in the state.
'The other representative said that you can actually show up and vote without an ID, it's shocking. How can you allow that to happen.,' the unidentified witness pondered during the hearing in Lansing.
'A lot of people think all Indians look alike, I think all Chinese look alike, so how would you tell?'
The comment solicited light chuckles from others in the room before the woman continued with her point.
'If some child shows up you can be anybody and you can vote. And if somebody with my name, you can't even tell my name, anyone can vote on my behalf. So ID should be the basic requirement,' she concluded.
