Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani surrendered himself at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on Wednesday in connection with efforts to challenge the state's 2020 election results, as reported by Timcast.
Giuliani, who previously served as the legal representative for former President Donald Trump, has been indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Office on 13 charges, including violation of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Giuliani announced his trip to Georgia and expressed confidence in his case, as reported by Spectrum News NY1.
"I feel like I'm defending the rights of all Americans, just as I did many times as a United States Attorney," Giuliani stated. "People like to say I'm different."
"Im the same Rudy Giuliani that took down the mafia," he continued. "I made New York City the safest city in America, reducing crime more than any mayor in history. And now, I'm fighting for justice."
Giuliani assured reporters that he is going to Fulton County "to comply with the law, which I always do."
"I don't know if I will plead today, but if I do, I plead not guilty," Giuliani asserted.
The former Republican mayor of New York explained that law enforcement officers will be "degrading themselves" by taking a mugshot of a man [Giuliani] who "probably put the worst criminals of the 20th century in jail."
"Find a prosecutor who has a better record than mine in the last hundred years," Giuliani challenged. "They will degrade themselves by taking my mugshot. Like people will even recognize me. This will turn out just like the FBI search turned out. They're lying, and I'm telling the truth."
Former President Trump is set to host an exclusive fundraising event for Giuliani at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on September 7. The event will cost $100,000 per guest, and Trump and Giuliani will engage in a round table discussion at 6 pm, followed by a dinner at 7:30 pm.
On Tuesday, Donald Trump's former attorney, John Eastman, turned himself in to authorities in Fulton County, Georgia, alongside bail bondsman Scott Hall. Eastman has been accused of orchestrating an attempt to keep Donald Trump in power after he lost to Joe Biden.
Trump himself is expected to surrender to Georgia authorities on Thursday. He has been indicted on 31 counts of felony falsification of business documents.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that Trump recorded fees paid to his attorney as legal fees, when in fact, the funds were allegedly used to pay a porn star with whom Trump is said to have had a relationship.
