Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani pleaded not guilty on Sept. 1 to felony charges in the lawsuit he and 18 others, including former President Donald Trump, are facing.

The 19 defendants were charged with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, along with a laundry list of other charges, in their efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in Georgia by organizing a slate of alternate electors to cast ballots.
