Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani is being investigated for potential criminal offences arising from his efforts to overturn the 2020 US presidential election.
Mr Giuliani will face a special grand jury in Atlanta, Georgia today, which is investigating alleged election interference in the state.
Robert Costello, an attorney representing Mr Giuliani, said his client would invoke attorney-client privilege if asked about his dealings with Donald Trump, The New York Times reports.
Mr Costello said: “If these people think he’s going to talk about conversations between him and President Trump, they’re delusional.”
