Giuliani Ordered to Testify in Georgia Criminal Probe of 2020 Election Interference
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to
testify to a grand jury in Georgia as part of a criminal probe into
efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. Fulton
County District Attorney Fani Willis revealed Wednesday that Giuliani
has been ordered to testify on August 9, after he failed to appear at a
hearing earlier this month. The investigation appears to be focused on
16 Georgia Republicans who signed up as fake electors after Joe Biden
won Georgia, but the probe also appears to be aimed at Trump's request
to the Georgia secretary of state in January of 2021 that he "find
11,780 votes," enough to declare Trump the victor in Georgia.
