Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to testify before a special grand jury investigating whether former President Donald Trump interfered in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election. But the former New York mayor told prosecutors on Monday that he could not comply with a subpoena because his doctor would not let him fly.
In response, prosecutors offered Giuliani a bus or train ticket. But in a court hearing on Tuesday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled to temporarily delay Rudy Giuliani’s testimony, while putting Giuliani on notice:
“If it turns out that Mr. Giuliani is willfully disregarding the now formal invitation to be here, that’s problematic,” McBurney told Giuliani’s attorney. “If that’s not the situation then we need to establish when he’ll be here and there’s lots of ways to make that happen.”
The judge then ruled that Giuliani shall be in Georgia by Aug. 17, noting that it was only a “13-hour drive” from New York.

“I’m sure he can find a way, short of Greyhound, that can get him to Atlanta,” McBurney remarked.
