Trump planning Pennsylvania trip Wednesday as some state lawmakers meet 

President Trump is planning to fly to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Wednesday, where a handful of Pennsylvania state Republican lawmakers are meeting about the 2020 election, sources familiar with the planning confirm to ABC News.   

The exact details of Trump’s trip are still in flux and could be scrapped altogether, the sources say, adding Trump Attorney Rudy Giuliani has been pushing the president to join.  

The sources add as of now, Trump is planning to fly via Marine One to Pennsylvania and what he does on the ground remains unclear but it could include meeting this group of state legislators.   

Multiple sources say senior White House and campaign aides spent Monday trying to convince Trump to not make the trip.    

The Trump campaign announced Giuliani and his team would go to Pennsylvania for a strictly Republican “Majority Policy Committee” hearing at the Wyndham Hotel in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, at 12:30 p.m. According to a release on the Pennsylvania State Senate's website, at least seven state senators, including the Senate majority leader-elect, will be present. 

The state Senate website refers to it as an “informational meeting regarding 2020 Election Issues [sic].” It will be streamed. 

The release features a statement from state Sen. Doug Mastriano, who requested the meeting. 

“Elections are a fundamental principle of our democracy – unfortunately, Pennsylvanians have lost faith in the electoral system,” said Mastriano, who recently called for the resignation of State Department Secretary Kathy Boockvar for negligence and incompetence. “It is unacceptable.”

“Over the past few weeks, I have heard from thousands of Pennsylvanians regarding issues experienced at the polls, irregularities with the mail-in voting system and concerns whether their vote was counted,” said Mastriano. “We need to correct these issues to restore faith in our republic.”

Pennsylvania certified its results for Joe Biden just Tuesday.

Trump campaign touting upcoming hearings in Pa., Ariz., Mich.

In a statement Tuesday night the Trump campaign touted upcoming state legislature public hearings in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan as the president's campaign continues to look to state legislatures to help overturn the election, despite states saying it's not possible.

The hearings would follow both Michigan and Pennsylvania certifying their election results this week. 

Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani is set to appear at the Wednesday hearing in Pennsylvania where he will deliver a "presentation," according to the statement.

Pennsylvania Senate Republicans called the hearing an "informational meeting on 2020 election issues" in a tweet Tuesday.

Shortly after the Trump campaign released its statement, a spokesperson for Michigan Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield told ABC News that the House Oversight committee will not meet next week for a hearing on the election.

Trump's legal team "has been invited to submit written testimony instead," Gideon D'Assandro, the spokesperson, told ABC News. 

The Trump campaign also continues to put pressure on state legislatures to intervene, writing that they "have the sole authority to select their representatives to the Electoral College."

However, states have made it clear that legislatures picking Trump electors to override the popular vote is a non-starter -- including recently Arizona Senate President Karen Fann.

Pennsylvania officials, Democrats file to oppose Trump federal appeal

Pennsylvania officials and the Democratic Party filed their response to the Trump campaign's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, urging the Third Circuit Court to dismiss a request by the campaign that would keep their legal effort going.

"It is beyond time for this baseless litigation to come to an end," lawyers for Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar wrote, noting that the Trump campaign team, led by Rudy Giuliani, seeks to reinstate claims it had already "abandoned for tactical reasons" in the lower court.

In regards to Trump campaign charges that poll watchers could not "meaningfully observe" the vote count, Boockvar's team writes the Trump Campaign failed to show that "even a single vote that was improperly counted," much less enough votes to alter the election. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled earlier that the poll observers were given sufficient access under state law.

"The Trump Campaign seeks to needlessly draw out this futile litigation," said a filing on behalf of Allegheny, Philadelphia, Chester and Montgomery counties, calling the campaign's allegations "conspiracy theories repackaged from the darkest corners of the internet."

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to rule quickly.
