In a dramatic turn of events, Rudolph Giuliani, the former personal lawyer of Donald Trump, has surrendered at a jail in Georgia’s Fulton County. He faces state charges stemming from actions aimed at overturning the outcome of the 2020 US presidential election. Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and New York City mayor, was ordered to pay a $150,000 bond and refrain from intimidating any of his 18 co-defendants or witnesses, according to court documents.
Seven individuals who were co-defendants with Giuliani in the criminal case, brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, have already surrendered at an Atlanta jail, as confirmed by county records. The charges against them relate to allegations of attempting to reverse the 2020 election loss in Georgia on behalf of Donald Trump.
Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, Donald Trump, who is currently a leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, continues to make unfounded claims that his electoral defeat was due to fraudulent activities.
In a statement made before heading to Atlanta, Giuliani vehemently denied any wrongdoing and stood by his defense of Donald Trump. The remaining ten co-defendants named in the Georgia indictment are expected to surrender by Friday, adding another layer of intrigue to this unfolding legal saga. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
