Rudy Giuliani

Michigan's attorney general is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the Republican candidate for state attorney general and others and determine if charges should be filed in regards to an alleged effort to gain access to voting machines after the 2020 election, News 12 reports.

Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office has asked the Michigan Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council to appoint a special prosecutor to consider charges against Republican attorney general candidate Matt DePerno, state Rep. Daire Rendon of Lake City and Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, and others.

Georgia prosecutors offered Rudy Giuliani a bus ticket after he claimed he could not comply with a subpoena because his doctor would not let him fly.

The former New York mayor was scheduled to appear on Tuesday before a special grand jury that is investigating whether former President Donald Trump illegally interfered in Georgia's 2020 presidential election.

A Ukrainian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin paid most of the travel expenses for Rudy Giuliani as he scoured the country for damaging information against Joe Biden.

A New York Times review of documents, text messages and interviews found a company owned by Dmitry Firtash paid tens of thousands of dollars for Giuliani's travel to Ukraine in summer 2019, including luxury hotel stays and private jet flights, and although the payments don't appear to break any laws they show his ties to the oligarch were much closer than was publicly known.

Even after President Joe Biden was inaugurated, coup-memo John Eastman was still attempting to overturn the election in fealty to former President Donald Trump according to a bombshell new report.

"John Eastman, the conservative lawyer whose plan to block congressional certification of the 2020 election failed in spectacular fashion on Jan. 6, 2021, sent an email two weeks later arguing that pro-Trump forces should sue to keep searching for the supposed election fraud he acknowledged they had failed to find," The New York Times reported. "On Jan. 20, 2021, hours after President Biden’s inauguration, Mr. Eastman emailed Rudolph W. Giuliani, former President Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, proposing that they challenge the outcome of the runoff elections in Georgia for two Senate seats that had been won on Jan. 5 by Democrats."

On Steve Bannon's "War Room" on Wednesday, during a segment in which Bannon was criticizing Fox News for giving so much coverage to former Vice President Mike Pence instead of former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani complained bitterly about how Fox News doesn't invite him on as a guest anymore — and in particular how they didn't invite him on for the most recent anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

"Would Roger Ailes have tolerated — the other day, Donald Trump returns to Washington, D.C. for the first time since he left, to give a keynote address on law and order and anarchy in our major cities. Mike Pence gives a seventeen minute bromides for a high school kid, cut and paste, absolutely ridiculous, they cover seventeen minutes and they blow a commercial break, which is like a mortal sin over at Fox, right? They blow a commercial break to cover all of it. Why do they have a thumb on the scale for a loser and a coward like Mike Pence, and they're up against, trying to defeat again, Donald J. Trump?"

A criminal investigation into Rudy Giuliani's ties to Ukraine during the 2020 presidential campaign seems unlikely to result in any charges, The New York Times reports.

The FBI and federal prosecutors in Manhattan examined whether Giuliani illegally lobbied the Trump administration on behalf of Ukrainian officials who helped him dig up dirt on then-candidate Joe Biden. But after almost three years, no smoking guns have been recovered, according to the report.

A grand jury subpoena issued to former White House counsel Pat Cipollone could derail Donald Trump's presidential bid before it gets off the ground.

The former president is reportedly mulling a 2024 campaign announcement in the belief that he could evade prosecution for the January 6 insurrection as a candidate, but the subpoena shows the Department of Justice is moving closer to Trump himself -- and federal prosecutors may be able to shake loose more evidence from Cipollone than the House select committee could, reported the Washington Post.

An email revealed by the New York Times from Donald Trump's campaign lawyer Kenneth Chesebro warned two Arizona Republicans that the fake electors scheme could "appear treasonous."

"Kelli Ward, the chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, and Kelly Townsend, a state senator, were both said to have expressed concerns to Mr. Trump’s lawyers in December 2020 about participating in a plan to sign on to a slate of electors claiming that Mr. Trump had won Arizona, even though Joseph R. Biden Jr. had won the state," said the Times.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is set to take a huge victory lap on Sunday after announcing a deal had been reached to pass the Inflation Reduction Act.

"Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has scheduled a full Ginsburg for Sunday. If completed, Manchin will be only the 31st newsmaker to accomplish the feat since Feb. 1, 1998, when William H. Ginsburg, the lawyer for Monica Lewinsky, first appeared on all five Sunday morning talk shows," Politico reported Saturday.

The Washington Post's exclusive report published Tuesday evening, revealing for the first time that the Dept. of Justice is investigating Donald Trump's actions as part of a January 6 criminal probe, is a "bombshell," according to legal expert Benjamin Wittes.

"The story is a bombshell because it reports for the first time that Trump is the subject of a criminal investigation for his individual conduct in the wake of the 2020 election," Wittes writes in a lengthy thread on Twitter. He also, speaking frankly, says there is a "shitload" of new information in the Post's report.

David Laufman, a former chief of the United States Department of Justice's Counterintelligence Section, delivered a blunt assessment of Trump allies' potential criminal exposure during an interview on CNN Wednesday.

While discussing newly unearthed emails related to the scheme to put up fake electors to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, Laufman broke down how the DOJ can use them to establish Trump allies' criminal intent.

On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that the Justice Department is now focusing in on the actions of former President Donald Trump in the plot to throw out the results of the 2020 presidential election.

"Prosecutors who are questioning witnesses before a grand jury — including two top aides to Vice President Mike Pence — have asked in recent days about conversations with Trump, his lawyers, and others in his inner circle who sought to substitute Trump allies for certified electors from some states Joe Biden won, according to two people familiar with the matter," reported Carol Leonnig, Devlin Barrett, Josh Dawsey and Spencer Hsu. "Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation."
