Rudy Giuliani has agreed to a $150,000 bond in the Georgia election interference case in which former President Trump is also charged.
Giuliani, a longtime ally of Trump who has also served as his attorney, faces 13 charges tied to an alleged criminal enterprise aiming to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results and keep the former president in power after he lost the race.
The Trump ally also surrendered at the Fulton County jail shortly after reaching the bond agreement.
A focal point of the indictment is Giuliani’s promotion of false election fraud claims to members of the Georgia state Legislature. Several of the former New York City mayor’s charges are tied to a scheme using fake Georgia electors to swing the election’s outcome in Trump’s favor.
For each of the three committee hearings where Giuliani and other Trump allies spread false claims about the election results, Giuliani is charged with a count of soliciting lawmakers to violate their oaths of office by encouraging them to help send a slate of Trump electors, and a count of making false statements.
Alongside his 18 co-defendants, Giuliani was also hit with state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act charges — the same charge the former Manhattan prosecutor used to crack down on mobsters and Wall Street titans in the 1980s.
Six defendants in the Georgia election interference case have so far surrendered at the Fulton County jail. Giuliani is expected to turn himself in Wednesday.
“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 before traveling to Georgia.
Trump agreed to a $200,000 bond Monday, while attorneys John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and Kenneth Chesebro agreed to $100,000 bonds.
The other 11 defendants, including Trump, have until Friday at noon to turn themselves in, according to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D).
