Let's head to Capitol Hill for some more details on these stories. Yeah, indeed.
Let's bring an aerial Hickson live in Washington to bring us
the latest on that story we're
telling about with Georgia's election investigation
taking a new turn with Rudy Giuliani. Good morning Ariel.
Good morning baker Alicia. So that is so right.
All eyes are on the state of Georgia as prosecutors
focus on Rudy Giuliani while investigating the 2020 election.
Now it all comes down to this election
fraud and whether former President donald trump and
his allies violated the law while attempting to
flip the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Just monday, a prosecutor notified Giuliani try Former attorney
that he is the target of the investigation and it's pretty significant.
Giuliani is a key ally of Trump,
meaning that the investigation is getting closer
and closer to the former president himself.
He's set to appear in front of a grand jury Wednesday and some background here.
Back in December 2020,
Giuliani met with Georgia state legislators multiple times attempting to spread
conspiracy theories about voter fraud across the state and get this.
He even accused election workers of smuggling
ballots in suitcases favoring joe biden.
Yet several election officials have of course disagree with these
claims and president biden won in Georgia by 12,000 votes.
So Ariel I just spoke about what's going down in
white helming but his list chinese seat really in jeopardy.
It is at this point, Alicia.
Representative Liz Cheney is projected to lose her seat in Wyoming.
And this is big as she is one of only two republicans on
the january six select House committee known
for directly challenging the former president.
Her primary opponent in Wyoming, is a trump backed candidate.
Her name is Harriet Hodgman and polls show that Cheney is down by at least
twice many points as her support went down following that work on the committee.
Now, if she loses, there's some big picture context here.
This race could also show us
the power of trump's lasting influence across the Republican Party.
And the big question will be if Liz Cheney does lose,
Does she run for president in 2024?
That is the rumor right now, Ariel Hickson live from our nation's capital, Ariel,
thank you.
