Rudy Giuliani, the former attorney for former President Donald Trump, has turned himself in to Atlanta, Georgia prison.
The lawyer and former mayor of New York is being prosecuted in the state of Georgia along with Trump and 17 others for a criminal plot to manipulate the results of the presidential election. Trump has insisted since the 2020 election that he is the winner and not Biden, claims for which no evidence has ever been found.
Six of the suspects had previously turned themselves in to Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. All suspects have until Friday afternoon 12:00 local time to report to the prison. Trump is expected there tomorrow.
‘I feel very good’
Giuliani, 79, is accused of spearheading Trump’s efforts to manipulate local administrators in Georgia and other states where Biden won by a narrow margin to override voters’ will.
He is suspected of making false statements, soliciting false testimony and inciting local officials to violate their oath of office.
Giuliani says he did nothing wrong when he helped Trump spread allegations of election fraud.
“I’m going to Georgia and I feel very, very good because I feel like I’m defending the rights of all Americans,” Giuliani said as he left his New York apartment for Atlanta.
After posting $150,000 bail, Giuliani was released from prison. He is not allowed to contact his eighteen co-defendants or witnesses in the case.
