Rudy Giuliani turned himself in at a jail in Atlanta on Wednesday on charges related to efforts to overturn then US President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

The former New York mayor was indicted last week along with Trump and 17 others. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said they took part in a wide-ranging conspiracy to subvert the will of the voters after the Republican president lost to Democrat Joe Biden in November 2020. Bond was set at US$150,000, second only to Trump’s US$200,000.
Giuliani, 79, is accused of spearheading Trump’s efforts to compel state lawmakers in Georgia and other closely contested states to ignore the will of voters and illegally appoint electoral college electors favourable to Trump.
Georgia was one of several key states Trump lost by slim margins, prompting the Republican and his allies to proclaim, without evidence, that the election was rigged in favour of his Democratic rival Biden.
Giuliani is charged with making false statements and soliciting false testimony, conspiring to create phoney paperwork and asking state lawmakers to violate their oath of office to appoint an alternate slate of pro-Trump electors.
Leaving his apartment in New York on Wednesday morning, Giuliani said he was “fighting for justice” and has been since he first started representing Trump.
“I’m feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I am defending the rights of all Americans, as I did so many times as a United States attorney,” Giuliani told reporters.
Trump, the early front runner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, has said he plans to turn himself in at the Fulton County Jail on Thursday.
He and his allies have characterised the investigation as politically motivated and have heavily criticised District Attorney Willis, a Democrat.
Giuliani criticised the indictment of lawyers beside himself who had worked for Trump and said the justice system was being politicised. He also highlighted the fact that some of the people indicted are not household names.
“Donald Trump told you this: they weren’t just coming for him or me,” Giuliani said. “Now they’ve indicted people in this case I don’t even know who they are. These are just regular people making a normal living.”
