Rudy Giuliani expected to surrender Wednesday in Georgia election case

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told reporters that “enemies of our republic” were “gonna come for you” during a paranoid rant Wednesday as he left his Manhattan apartment en route to surrender to Georgia officials in connection with attempts to overturn the 2020 election results there.

Giuliani, 79, delivered the seething monologue to a scrum of reporters gathered outside his Upper East Side home as he claimed that he was not guilty of conspiracy and a dozen other felonies tied to his unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the Peach State.

“I don’t know how many times he has to be proven innocent and they have to be proven to be liars. Actually, enemies of our republic, we are destroying rights, sacred rights,” former President Donald Trump’s lawyer said, according to CNN footage.

“They are destroying my right to counsel, my right to be a lawyer. They’re destroying his right to counsel. It’s not accidental they’ve indicted all the lawyers. Never heard of that before in America. All the lawyers indicted,” he continued.

“Now, whether you dislike or like Donald Trump, let me give you a warning. They’re gonna come for you. When the political winds shift, as they always do, let us pray that Republicans are more honest, more trustworthy, and more American than these people in charge of this government.”

The former Republican mayor of New York City also touted his record as a federal prosecutor as he railed against Fulton County DA Fani Willis, who has indicted him, Trump and 17 other co-defendants in the case.

Giuliani is charged with 13 counts, including violation of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

“You find a prosecutor who has a better record than mine in the last 100 years. Bet you don’t. Or mayor,” he said.

“They’re going to degrade themselves by doing a mugshot of me, like people won’t recognize me.”

Guiliani, who had his law license suspended in New York over his “demonstrably false and misleading statements” after the 2020 election, also defended his client, who is now facing more than 90 felony charges across four criminal cases.

“I am fighting for justice. I have been from the first moment I represented Donald Trump, and as a man who has now been proven innocent several times.”

Giuliani will be joined by his friend, disgraced former New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik — an unindicted co-conspirator in the interference racketeering case — when he meets with the DA’s Office to finalize a bond package, sources told ABC News.

Earlier reports said Giuliani had not found a Georgia-based lawyer but he has since secured local counsel for his appearance on Wednesday, the sources said.

Kerik had previously served three years in prison for tax fraud and obstruction, charges which Trump pardoned him on in 2020.

Guiliani’s expected appearance comes a day before Trump plans to turn himself in at the same jail, where he has agreed to post a $200,000 bond.

The former president agreed to the surrender during negotiations with Willis’ office on Monday.

“Can you believe it?” he posted on his Truth Social platform. “I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis…”

Trump was indicted Aug, 14 alongside 18 allies, including Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. It’s the fourth criminal indictment brought against the 45th president since leaving office. 

Bond agreements also have been reached with at least two of his co-defendants. 

Attorney John Eastman, who faces seven counts, had his bond set at $100,000 and also is expected to turn himself in on Wednesday – and GOP poll watcher Scott Hall, also facing seven counts, reached a deal on a $10,000 bond. 

Willis gave all the defendants until noon Friday to surrender and has requested a March 4 trial start date in the case.

Trump has insisted that his actions were not illegal and that the sweeping probe is politically motivated.The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office said late Tuesday that it will release mugshots of the defendants every day at 4 p.m. until all of them have turned themselves in, according to ABC News.
