Rudy Giuliani has been informed he is a target of the ongoing election interference probe out of Fulton County, Georgia, an attorney for former President Donald Trump's ex-lawyer said Monday.
Lawyer Robert Costello said the notification regarding his client arrived Monday. Notably, being identified as a target does not guarantee an indictment, writes The New York Times, which first reported the story. Rather, "it usually means that prosecutors believe an indictment is possible, based on evidence they have seen up to that point." The probe, led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, is investigating possible illegal efforts from Trump and his allies to interfere with the 2020 election.
