Donald Trump’s former lawyer has emerged as one of the key figures in Georgian prosecutors’ investigation into an attempt to rig the outcome of the presidential election. Earlier in the summer, some witnesses were heard confirming Giuliani’s presence at a series of meetings with representatives of the Georgian Congress, with whom he had discussed conspiracy theories to falsify the vote.

The attorney is expected in Atlanta today to answer questions from prosecutors. “If these people – commented his attorney Robert Costello – believe that he will tell the substance of the talks with President Trump, they will be disappointed.”
Republican Graham was also subpoenaed
Joining Rudy Giuliani in the Georgia investigation into an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election result is Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the big names in the Conservative Party and very loyal to the former President. The South Carolina Senator has been summoned to Atlanta to testify before the special jury. The hearing was set for August 23. Also subpoenaed are five attorneys who worked with Trump and had extensive contact with election officials after the 2020 vote.
Trump vs the FBI
Meanwhile, the former president continues his campaign against the FBI, accusing the agents who conducted the Mar-a-Lago search of “stealing” his passports.
“Wow – he commented on his social platform Truth – in the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago they stole my three passports, one of them expired, along with something else. This is an attack on a political opponent on a level that has never been seen in our country. Third World”. The passports Trump is referring to are probably the American one and the red one, diplomatic, given to members of the government. The reason for the possible confiscation, which is generally done to prevent the person being searched from entering the country leaves is not clear.
