Rudy Giuliani

In the wake of Rudy Giuliani's Fulton County indictment alongside Donald Trump regarding efforts to overturn the 2020 election result, New York City's mobsters are reportedly rejoicing.

Speaking to The Messenger, veteran mob lawyer Murray Richman said that, while most mobsters tend to be fans of Donald Trump, they have no love for Giuliani due to the fact that he was mainly responsible for breaking the back of the New York mob back in the 1980s when he was a federal prosecutor.

A former police chaplain was among three individuals charged with trying to influence a Georgia poll worker to provide evidence of fraud in District Attorney Fani Willis' Monday night indictment.

The Rev. Stephen Cliffgard Lee, a pastor within the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod denomination, was charged along with Donald Trump and 17 others in the wide-ranging scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state, and Religion News Service reported that police body cam video showed the faith leader in December 2020 outside the home of poll worker Ruby Freeman.

Will Saletan, a writer at The Bulwark, has combed through Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' indictment of former President Donald Trump and his allies and has found some details that he believes go a long way toward proving Trump's criminal intent.

Proving intent is notoriously one of the most difficult tasks any prosecutor has, but Saletan argues that there are enough connected dots to make a solid case.

John Eastman is back in court on Wednesday for a hearing on whether he should be disbarred in California. Now, his Monday night indictment over allegations he helped Donald Trump try to overturn the 2020 election result has been added to the California Bar Association's case, legal affairs reporter Meghann Cuniff revealed on Wednesday.

Eastman last week tried to get the disbarment proceedings postponed, claiming potential criminal charges could affect his ability to defend himself in the California case.

The Georgia indictment with 19 defendants opens the door for many plea deals, but Georgetown Law Professor Eric Hashimoto says there's just a short turnaround if they intend to do it.

Writing for Just Security, Hashimoto explained that there are mere weeks for Donald Trump's accused co-conspirators to act as there are many reasons why defendants could push to go to trial quickly – and deals would be most useful to prosecutors before that happens.

Former President Donald Trump's legal ally Rudy Giuliani, indicted in the same Georgia election investigation Trump has been, is facing financial ruination, reported CNN's Katelyn Polantz on Wednesday.

"When Giuliani was federal prosecutor in New York, he pioneered the takedown of Mafia bosses using RICO. Exactly what he's facing now, being targeted by a similar statute in the state of Georgia," said anchor Poppy Harlow. "He's also saying, I know RICO better than anyone, this isn't the proper use of it. Is it?"

Four of former President Donald Trump's legal advisers listed as unidentified co-conspirators in United States Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith's criminal indictment for the alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election were never paid "despite the fact that their lawsuits and false claims of election interference helped the Trump campaign and allied committees raise $250 million in the weeks following the November vote," CNBC's Brian Schwartz reports.

"Trump has a long history of not paying his bills," Schwarts writes, noting one of the people that he "stiffed" was Rudy Giuliani, the ex-New York City mayor who was Trump's personal defense counsel and a long-time personal friend.

"Prove it," was the message former acting solicitor general Neal Katyal told Donald Trump after his latest rant claiming innocence on Truth Social.

Trump took to his personal social media site on Tuesday after being indicted in Georgia on charges involving attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. He joins 18 other defendants in the indictment, including his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani and his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows.
