Former New York City Mayor and current 77 WABC radio host Rudy Giuliani could be in a courtroom soon.
The New York Times’ Danny Hakim reported on Monday that Giuliani had been told he is a target of Georgia’s criminal investigation into election interference. Furthermore, the radio host is scheduled to testify in Atlanta later this week.
Giuliani’s attorney, Robert Costello, told the Times that prosecutors notified him that his client was a target in the investigation. Giuliani will make a scheduled appearance before a grand jury on Monday in Atlanta.
Politico columnist and former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti explained that using the term target likely means something serious is coming toward Giuliani.
“Target” is a term prosecutors use to indicate that they are likely to indict someone,” Mariotti tweeted on Monday. “It has a specific meaning in this context. If Giuliani has in fact been told that he is a target of the Georgia investigation, he should expect to be indicted.”
The probe, led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis, originates from actions by former President Donald Trump and his supporters to topple the state’s 2020 election results.
