Rudy Giuliani Arrives to Testify in Georgia 2020 Election Probe

Rudy Giuliani on Aug. 17 arrived at a courthouse in Atlanta to testify to a grand jury investigating possible election crimes.

Giuliani, who represented former President Donald Trump when the 2020 election took place, told reporters that he would not comment on the investigation until he knows more about it.

“They ask the questions, and we’ll see,” he said before entering the courthouse.

Grand jury testimony is closed to the public and press.

Giuliani’s lawyer Robert Costello told news outlets this week that prosecutors informed him that Giuliani has become a target of the criminal probe into the 2020 election.

“I began this thing as a material witness and I guess when they figured they weren’t going to sucker and bob me into violating the attorney-client privilege, they figured, ok let’s make me a target, let’s indict him,” Giuliani said on WABC radio on Tuesday.

“I was acting as an attorney through all of it,” he added.

Costello said that his client would not answer any questions that would violate attorney-client privilege.

Election Investigation

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, has been working with the grand jury to probe attempts by Trump, Giuliani, and others to convince officials in Georgia to investigate fraud following the 2020 election, which had Joe Biden win more votes than Trump.

One focus is the call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, in late 2020, asking Raffensperger to investigate possible fraud. Raffensperger’s investigator later found a number of issues in Fulton County, but Raffensperger has said the election results were accurate.

Willis noted in a petition for a subpoena for Giuliani that he was Trump’s attorney as well as a lawyer for Trump’s 2020 campaign. He has “unique knowledge” concerning efforts to probe the election results, she said.
