Giuliani surrenders in on Georgia 2020 election case

Giuliani, aged 79, is being accused of spearheading Trump’s initiatives to pressure state legislators in Georgia …reports Asian Lite News

Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani turned himself in to authorities in Georgia on Wednesday, on charges related to efforts to overturn then-President Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

The ex-mayor of New York City, renowned as “America’s mayor” for his leadership post-9/11, was indicted last week along with Trump and 17 others under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act. His bond has been set at $150,000, the second highest after Trump’s $200,000, Associated Press reported.

According to jail records, he was officially processed on Wednesday afternoon.

Giuliani, aged 79, is being accused of spearheading Trump’s initiatives to pressure state legislators in Georgia and other fiercely contested states into disregarding the voters’ choices and unlawfully designating electoral college electors who favoured Trump.

Georgia emerged as one of the pivotal states where Trump experienced narrow losses, leading the Republican and his supporters to assert, though without substantiating evidence, that the election had been manipulated to favour his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.

The charges against Giuliani encompass making false statements, soliciting falsified testimony, onspiring to create phony paperwork and asking state lawmakers to violate their oath of office to appoint an alternate slate of pro-Trump electors, it was reported.
