Rudy Giuliani turned himself in Wednesday in the racketeering case against former U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies, surrendering at the Atlanta jail where the defendants are being booked.
Giuliani, whose bond was set at $150,000, arrived in Atlanta as another defendant in the sprawling case, lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, filed a motion seeking a speedy trial. Under that scenario, which Georgia law allows, the trial for all 19 people indicted in the case would have to start no later than Nov. 3, months earlier than prosecutors had sought.
After his booking, Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, stepped out of an SUV to address a throng of reporters, calling the case "an attack on the American people.” He then made his way to A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds, a business near the jail.
