"POLITICO Playbook PM: Georgia becomes the center of the political universe"
WHAT’S GOING ON IN GEORGIA — Three big stories up today put Georgia in the spotlight as the Fulton County investigation into DONALD TRUMP’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election heats up, and new information is uncovered about the Trump team’s efforts.
- RUDY GIULIANI is the “target of a criminal investigation” in Georgia over Trump’s efforts to interfere with the election, NYT’s Richard Fausset and Danny Hakim scoop. “Mr. Giuliani, who spearheaded efforts to keep Mr. Trump in power as his personal lawyer, emerged in recent weeks as a central figure in the inquiry being conducted by FANI T. WILLIS, the district attorney of Fulton County, Ga., which encompasses most of Atlanta. Earlier this summer, prosecutors questioned witnesses before a special grand jury about Mr. Giuliani’s appearances before state legislative panels in December 2020, when he spent hours peddling false conspiracy theories about secret suitcases of Democratic ballots and corrupted voting machines.”
“Mr. Giuliani is scheduled to appear before the special grand jury on Monday at a downtown Atlanta courthouse. His lawyer, ROBERT COSTELLO, disclosed in an interview that prosecutors told him Monday that Mr. Giuliani was a target. Mr. Costello said Mr. Giuliani would probably invoke attorney-client privilege if asked questions about his dealings with Mr. Trump. ‘If these people think he’s going to talk about conversations between him and President Trump, they’re delusional,’ Mr. Costello said.”
