The former president’s lawyer Donald Trump reported to the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, so that fingerprints and photographs are taken for the judicial file. Previously, his lawyers negotiated the terms of the bail so that he can face the process against him for trying to manipulate the results of the elections in USA.
Rudy Giulianiformer mayor of New York, who is charged with the former president of the United States, Donald Trump (2017-2021) for attempting to rig the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgiawas delivered this Wednesday to the authorities of that state.
Before turning himself in, his lawyers met at the Fulton district attorney’s office (Georgia), Fani Willis, in order to negotiate the terms of the bond, which was set at $150,000.
After that meeting, Giuliani went to the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta (Georgia) to have his fingerprints and photographs taken for the court record, before posting bail and leaving the prison compound.
“I am very honored to be involved in this case because this case is a fight for our way of life. This accusation is not an attack only against me, against President Trump or against the others involved, but against the Americans, ”he told the press after leaving prison.
Along these lines, he considered that this situation could happen to anyone and said that he is persecuted for having defended former President Trump as a lawyer. “Five other lawyers are charged. That should make it clear that this is an attack on the Constitution,” he said.

Accusation against Giuliani
Giuliani is specifically accused of being part of a scheme for 16 Georgia Republicans to serve as Georgia’s picks for the president of Georgia. USA in the Electoral College, in an attempt to reverse the elections in favor of Trump, despite the fact that the Democrat Joe Biden he had won in that state by a narrow margin.
In the US, the president is not selected by popular vote, but with an indirect system, so that when citizens go to the polls they are actually choosing the delegates of the Electoral College, who represent them in a final vote .
Giuliani was one of the most visible faces in Trump’s attempts to overturn election results across the country.
One of the moments that best portrays that role was the press conference he gave denouncing an alleged fraud after the elections, in which he could be seen with beads of brown sweat on his forehead, something that the public blamed on some type of product that the former mayor had used to try to cover his gray hair.
That press conference took place on the outskirts of Philadelphianear a crematorium and a sex shop, and across from a small landscaping business called Four Seasons Total Landscaping, which his team mistook for the luxury Four Seasons hotel chain.
Giuliani’s public image has suffered a spectacular decline in recent years: some two decades ago he was known by the honorary title of “mayor of the year” for having managed to guide New York stoically after the attacks of September 11 from 2001.
Giuliani, who was mayor of NY between 1994 and 2001, he was awarded the title of Honorary Knight of Her Majesty by Queen Elizabeth II of England and Time magazine named him “person of the year” in 2001.
