US: Rudy Giuliani now under criminal investigation over election claims

Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani is being investigated for potential criminal offences arising from his efforts to overturn the 2020 US presidential election.

Mr Giuliani will face a special grand jury in Atlanta, Georgia today, which is investigating alleged election interference in the state.

Robert Costello, an attorney representing Mr Giuliani, said his client would invoke attorney-client privilege if asked about his dealings with Donald Trump, The New York Times reports.

Mr Costello said: “If these people think he’s going to talk about conversations between him and President Trump, they’re delusional.”
