Giuliani,79,is accused of spearheading Trump’s efforts to compel Georgia representatives and other closely contested states to ignore the will of voters and illegally appoint electoral college electors favourable to Trump.
Georgia was one of several key states Trump lost by slim margins,prompting the Republican and his allies to proclaim,without evidence,that the election was rigged in favour of his Democratic rival Biden.
Giuliani is charged with making false statements and soliciting false testimony,conspiring to create phony paperwork and asking state representatives to violate their oath of office to appoint an alternative slate of pro-Trump electors.
Leaving his apartment in New York on Wednesday morning (US time),Giuliani said he was “fighting for justice” and has been since he first started representing Trump.
“I’m feeling very,very good about it because I feel like I am defending the rights of all Americans,as I did so many times as a United States attorney,” Giuliani told reporters.
