The move to designate the former New York City Mayor as a target in Georgia's criminal investigation of efforts to overturn the 2020 election also raises the legal pressure on Donald Trump.

Rudy Giuliani in Cross Hairs of Georgia Election Probe

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is a target of the criminal investigation in Georgia that has been examining efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in that state by Donald Trump and his allies, reports The Guardian. The move against Giuliani, who served as Trump’s personal attorney, also raises the legal pressure on Trump. Being identified as a target means only that a person may be a defendant in the event of an indictment. Giuliani is under scrutiny by the special grand jury because of his integral role in the former president’s potentially unlawful scheme to pressure Republican legislatures to send to Congress fake electoral certificates for Trump in states – like Georgia – actually won by Biden.
