Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, two former Trump attorneys, have given up the lawsuit against election tampering.
Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, two of Donald Trump's most important election attorneys, turned themselves in on Wednesday to face charges in the Georgia election subversion case.
The image of Giuliani, a well-known former federal prosecutor and former mayor of New York City, entering the Fulton County jail is yet another stunning development in the continuing probe into Trump and his efforts to reverse his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
Giuliani, one of Trump's most ardent legal counsel in 2020, was accused of 13 offenses, including violating the state's racketeering statute, participating in a number of criminal conspiracies, and encouraging a public official to break their oath.
Giuliani, who had already flown to Atlanta, consented to a $150,000 bail deal. Powell accepted a $20,000 bail.
Powell and Giuliani are among the suspected participants in the Georgia 2020 election rigging plot who are expected to bring themselves in on Wednesday. The mastermind of the Trump campaign's plan to use phony electors, Kenneth Chesebro, also turned himself up.
Meanwhile, the former president, who accepted a $200,000 bail, will surrender on Thursday.
In the late afternoon, Trump will check out of his Bedminster golf club and head back to New Jersey. Nothing is anticipated to happen at his club after his return. The sources said that Trump's staff has also been setting up for him to talk to the journalists who are accompanying him to Georgia, but the former president may eventually decide against doing so.
Trump and 18 other people have been accused of engaging in plots to tamper with Georgia's election results by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Before the Friday deadline Willis set when she announced the exhaustive indictment last week about efforts to reverse Trump's loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race, all 19 co-defendants are anticipated to turn themselves in.
