Rudy Giuliani is on his way to jail in Fulton County, Ga. Just one day before Trump is set to appear in the Georgia prison, the former president's personal lawyer decided to turn himself in to Atlanta authorities. He assured the media that he is "felling very, very good" about his decision since he feels he is "defending the rights of all Americans," according to statements picked up by Reuters:

I'm going to Georgia and I'm feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I'm defending the rights of all Americans. I'm the same Rudy Giuliani that took down the mafia that made New York City the the safest city in America.

Rudy Giuliani calls out Jack Smith and Fani Willis

The attorney continued to lash out at Jack Smith, the special prosecutor who brought the charges against him, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. They charged Giuliani as well as 18 others with "attempting to overturn" Georgia's 2020 election. This surprises Giuliani, who notes that many of these defendants work as lawyers:

Enemies of our republic were destroying rights, sacred rights. They're destroying my right to counsel, my right to be a lawyer. They're destroying his right to counsel. It's not accidental that they've indicted all as lawyers. Never heard of that before in America.

Finally, Giuliani again expressed his support for Donald Trump. He assured the media that the former president had already warned them about what would happen. He says the process is far from over, since they will not stop until he or Donald Trump is prosecuted:

Whether you dislike or you like Donald Trump, let me give you a warning: it's gonna come for you when the political winds shift, as they always do, let us pray that Republicans are more honest, more trustworthy, and more American than these people in charge of this government. ... Donald Trump told you this. They weren't just coming for him or me.
