A New York Supreme Court judge Wednesday ordered Rudy Giuliani, a former personal lawyer of former President Donald Trump, to testify next month before a Fulton County, Ga., grand jury that is investigating Trump and his allies' attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Giuliani must appear before the special purpose grand jury—which was launched by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) in February 2021 to investigate Trump’s post-election conduct—as a witness on August 9, the New York judge ruled.
The order comes a few weeks after the grand jury subpoenaed Giuliani, who then failed to appear at a hearing in New York about challenging the subpoena.
The jury has also subpoenaed conservative legal scholar John Eastman, Trump-allied lawyers Jenna Ellis, Cleta Mitchell and Kenneth Chesebro and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
The order comes a day after reports emerged that 16 Republicans—including two top Georgia GOP officials—who attempted to cast sham Electoral College ballots for Trump are under criminal investigation and could be prosecuted as a part of the Fulton County grand jury’s investigation. Willis reportedly sent the Republicans “target” letters alerting them to the development. The fake electors are set to appear before the grand jury Monday.
