Former President Donald Trump received a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith in the January 6 investigation but his former attorney, ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, evaded a similar fate after meeting with prosecutors.
Giuliani has not received a target letter, his attorney told CNN's Paula Reid, and he does not expect to be charged after he completed a voluntary interview with special counsel investigators several weeks ago.

The former president on Tuesday announced in a lengthy statement shared on Truth Social that the special counsel had informed him that he was a target of the Justice Department's probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Trump's target letter could be a sign of another criminal indictment for the ex-president, per ABC News, which would mark his third in recent months. In June, Trump was federally indicted for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, and in March, a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict him on charges related to a 2016 hush-money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Giuliani avoiding charges suggests that he may have "flipped to some degree," national security attorney Bradley Moss tweeted.

He visited outside the home of a guy arrested the day before as a suspect in several Long Island murders. Anything for attention.

(8,178 posts)for an attorney to be making this kind of statement to the media just before the GJ is to decide the matter before them?
I kind of feel like this might jeopardize the attorney's client legally. but hey, I never went to law school.
but it does seem rather odd and risky.
so, i'm a tad skeptical. at the very least we shouldn't presume this is true and repeat the story as if it were until the story is confirmed by the facts as they actually unfold.

That doesn't sound like much to me. How would that jeopardize Ghouliani?
Pundits say this or that person "flips" on Orange Ass, like that will prevent the flipper from getting charged for anything at all.
I could understand a plea deal to a lesser charge for cooperating; getting off scot free? I don't see it with a no-bullshit prosecutor like Jack Smith. (
