Embattled lawyer Rudy Giuliani has reportedly been told he is a target in a Georgia criminal probe into election interference by his longtime client, ex-President Donald Trump.
Prosecutors on Monday told attorney Robert Costello that his client Giuliani is being targeted, The New York Times reported.
Giuliani, who is set to appear before a grand jury at an Atlanta courthouse on Wednesday, would likely invoke attorney-client privilege if asked about matters related to Trump, Costello said.
‘If these people think he’s going to talk about conversations between him and President Trump, they’re delusional,’ Costello told the newspaper.
Costello told CNN that ‘this comes on the heels of us asking him probably six or seven times’ if Giuliani was a target. Costello would not say if Giuliani plans to invoke his Fifth Amendment right to decline to answer questions to avoid self-incrimination.
Giuliani, who is no longer Trump’s personal lawyer, pushed Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election and fronted efforts to keep him in the White House.
The report comes hours after Federal District Court Judge Leigh Martin May in Atlanta ruled that Senator Lindsey Graham’s must comply with a special grand jury subpoena.
