Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and outside lawyer for former President Donald Trump, has admitted to making false statements about two Georgia election workers in a court filing. This could potentially allow Giuliani to avoid handing over a batch of records related to his communications during the 2020 election, and potentially help him avoid "severe discovery sanctions" from the judge in the case. The judge has yet to rule on the matter, and Giuliani has not commented on the filing.
