Giuliani calls on Fulton County judge to schedule hearing on motion to quash Georgia indictment

Rudy Giuliani has urged a Georgia state judge to arrange a hearing regarding a motion to dismiss his election meddling charges. This request was prompted nearly four months after the motion was submitted. Giuliani, adamant about his innocence, has been associated with a series of charges that implicated 19 individuals, including ex-president Donald Trump. Prosecutors surmised that Giuliani consciously misrepresented facts to persuade Georgia’s electorates to reverse the 2020 election outcome. In the dismissal motion submitted in September, Giuliani's lawyers contended that the original indictment had significant “shortcomings”. His attorneys requested the court to nullify the indictment, citing its imperfection in form and substance, inadequate notice about the charges he is to contest at trial, and insufficient safeguard from a risk of double jeopardy through another prosecution. The motion described the indictment as a confusing mixture of alleged criminal acts, daily conduct, and protected speech within the constitution, involving Giuliani and other defendants. Out of the 19 accused individuals, four have confessed to their wrongdoings in an attempt to avoid trial, three of whom were Trump’s lawyers. Though the exact date of the trial for the case has not been decided, it awaits the determination of the prosecutors.
