Rudy Giuliani recently underwent questioning by Jan. 6 prosecutors about former President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn his election loss.
The ex-New York City mayor appeared in what some legal experts say may have been an audition for prosecutors in hopes of winning immunity in exchange for testimony against Trump or others. But it’s not known if special counsel Jack Smith sees Giuliani as a potentially useful witness against Trump, or a target in his own right.
“He’s trying to cut a deal and time is very short,” said Harry Litman, a former prosecutor and MSNBC legal analyst.
