Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to testify Aug. 9 before a grand jury in Georgia that is collecting evidence in a probe of possible criminal meddling in that state’s 2020 presidential election by former President Donald Trump.
Giuliani, who was Trump’s personal lawyer at the time, spearheaded legal efforts by the Republican president to overturn the electoral results in multiple swing states that were won that year by President Joe Biden.
A former New York City mayor and ex-federal prosecutor, Giuliani is one of a group of Trump-allied lawyers who were subpoenaed to testify before the special grand jury in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta.
The same grand jury has also issued a subpoena to Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
