My .02 on it is this. It is never enough to just tell him what he's saying is not true. I'd like to see them ask him to prove that it is. For example

On Election lies: "You constantly say that it was rigged but you've never provided any evidence to prove it. Where is it. You brought your claims to court 61 times, often in front of judges you appointed and none of them found any evidence. Every claim that was made was debunked by your attorney general and others who had access to actual information rather than wild claims. In fact your lawyers didn't provide the actual claims in many cases because they knew them to be false and didn't want to risk sanctions. Even Jenna Ellis defended herself from Dominion Voting claims by saying no reasonable person could believe she was being truthful. So give us the evidence instead of just claiming it exists."
But even for that, doing it in town hall scenario filled with his supporters makes it impossible to hold him to account. They want to get on to other issues. In a straight up interview the only real possibility is simply not to let up on the point until he provides some actual answer (not just, 'it's true", or "we'll get it to you"). If he says he'll provide the evidence later then stop the interview until he provides it and then say you'll pick up when you have it. You have to enforce absolute boundaries, not just try to rebut his lies because they never end.
