Is Julia Haller related to Peter Haller, the lawyer featured in the OAN video Trump retweeted last night? Just curious
Well, Juli Haller, aka Juli Haller Simonyi (see reply #10), probably is related to Peter Haller, aka Peter Simonyi - from 2011:
By Any Other Name, Goldman's Spin of the Revolving Door Would Still Stink
Peter Haller used to be a vice president at Goldman Sachs (GS). Before that, he worked for the SEC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. He left Goldman, where his duties apparently included working his old contacts at the securities agency on matters of interest to the bank, in 2006 to join a Washington lobbying firm. This year, he got a new job working for Rep. Darrell Issa. As a mid-level aide to the California Republican, Haller worked to pressure financial regulators to dilute proposed rules governing the use of derivatives -- rules that were of considerable interest to big securities firms like Goldman.
With me so far? Haller's career arc: government regulator --> banker --> lobbyist --> congressional staffer. Now for the twist. After leaving Goldman, the former financial exec also changed his surname, which previously had been "Simonyi," to "Haller," his mother's maiden name. ThinkProgress, a liberal blog, this week suggested the name change had made it easier for Haller to skirt ethics concerns and glide from Wall Street to a gig on Capitol Hill trying to punch holes in government regulations.
Haller says he never hid the the name change, which was fully disclosed on his previous employer's Web site. He says he changed his name to honor his mother's wishes, whose father was killed by Nazis in Hungary during World War II and who wanted to carry on the family name (Haller's sister also changed her name).
ThinkProgress doesn't dispute that explanation. Rather, it objects to the conflict of interest involved in Haller's moving from Goldman to a job with a lawmaker, who as head of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee has devoted himself to blunting financial regulation. ThinkProgress says:

So while [Haller] worked for Chairman Issa on issues directly assisting a top Goldman Sachs lobbying goal -- namely, to weaken new Dodd-Frank regulations -- the public was unaware that he previously worked in the compliance division of Goldman.

And Peter Haller is involved in Trump lawsuits:
Professor Steven Miller issues legal statement suggesting PA ballot irregularities; conclusions repudiated by statisticians, political scientists
...
Miller first wrote the statement after being approached by a volunteer attorney to the Trump campaign litigation effort, Peter Haller of Hill Strategy LLC. Miller said Haller contacted him after Miller had previously conducted a variety of independent and non-public analyses on potential voter fraud in the weeks after the 2020 election.

I would look at Peter Haller's tweets, but his account was deleted in the past week: https://twitter.com/peterghaller?lang=en
