(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice is preparing to charge former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, as well as Trump’s other attorneys, for challenging the 2020 election results.
The DOJ, according to insider sources, may be preparing a “superseding indictment,” that is, the addition of further charges against an already-indicted defendant, the Independent reported.
The charges would be brought in the Southern District of Florida. The source speculated that the DOJ could be bringing an “additional 30 to 45 charges” on top of the 37-count indictment that is already in place.
In the additions, the DOJ will specifically target Guiliani, who has already had his law license suspended in both New York and Washington.
Guiliani recently met with prosecutors in what is widely believed to have been a “proffer” session, an interview wherein he could say anything with the promise that he would not be charged for what he said.
When asked about the interview, Ted Goodman, Giuliani’s political adviser, said that it “was entirely voluntary and conducted in a professional manner,” but declined to say more about Guiliani’s dealings with the Justice Department.
“There’s nothing more to say on this matter,” he added.
The charges will also be pressed against then-President Trump’s final White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who also seems to have made an agreement with the DOJ to exchange information about the final weeks of the Trump presidency.
Meadows’s lawyer, George Terwilliger, denied such reports, but insiders have said that the ex-congressman has signed an agreement with the DOJ wherein he obliges himself to cooperate with the prosecution of Trump in exchange for some personal legal breaks.
