Rudy Giuliani met with Jack Smith under agreement that 'can precede a formal cooperation deal': NYT

The New York Times reports that former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani recently sat down for a voluntary interview with special counsel Jack Smith under a proffer agreement, which the Times points out "can precede a formal cooperation deal."

According to the Times, attorneys working for Smith pelted Giuliani with multiple questions related to the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, including about former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and John Eastman, both of whom have been accused of trying to help the president illegally remain in power despite losing that election to President Joe Biden.

The attorneys also asked Giuliani about "a plan to create fake slates of pro-Trump electors in key swing states that were actually won by Mr. Biden," the paper writes, which also reported that he was asked about actions taken at the pro-Trump "war room" at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. where Trump allies plotted on ways to block the certification of the election results.

The Times notes that it is still not clear whether Giuliani will face criminal charges in Smith's probe, which has been bringing witnesses before a grand jury to testify about efforts to keep Trump in the White House.
