Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani arrived in Georgia on Wednesday morning and is likely to surrender on charges tied to allegedly interfering with the 2020 election.
Giuliani landed at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport just northeast of Atlanta. He was accompanied by New York-based attorney John Esposito, NBC News reported.
Fulton County Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis and a grand jury last week indicted former President Donald Trump, Giuliani, and 17 others on felony charges.
Giuliani's lawyers will be meeting with the Fulton County DA's office to finalize a bond package before a surrender. NBC News reported that Giuliani has secured a bail bondsman, and once bond is secured, he will go to the Rice Street police station to be fingerprinted and photographed.
His arraignment is expected in the next week or two and may take place virtually, NBC News said.
"In the last three years, the American people have seen blatant corruption and incompetence in our government. When it seeped like a cancer into the DA office, courts, and the Justice Department, our great country turned into Russia, Iran, China, and Venezuela," Giuliani told Newsmax.
Attorney Brian Tevis of the Tevis Law Firm will serve as Giuliani's local counsel, NBC News reported.
CNN reported Tuesday that Giuliani had not found a Georgia-based lawyer to negotiate his surrender and was being assisted by former New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik.
Giuliani then secured local counsel but is expected to be joined by Kerik.
Trump on Monday said he would surrender to authorities in Georgia on Thursday.
"Can you believe it? I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
"In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for 'murder,' but for making a PERFECT PHONE CALL!"
