Welcome to The Beat. I'm Ari Melburgh, and the breaking news tonight is a prosecutor moving towards

indicting Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Georgia prosecutors say they are now on track to indict Rudy Giuliani. It's a huge legal

development that comes amidst those other largely unrelated pressures on Donald Trump over the allegedly criminal evidence that was seized from his home in that unprecedented FBI raid last week.

So let me tell you exactly what's going on in English.

We have never come on air before to report about a Giuliani indictment until now.

His legal programs have focused on clashes over testimony, subpoenas,

getting his law license suspended, which was partially a response to what he did in Georgia,

and we've reported on him being under investigation in more than one pro.

Now, don't get me wrong, those are serious legal problems,

but none reach this level of indictment

of what happens when you are booked for a mugshot and facing a criminal trial and possible incarceration.

So this is a new level, and unlike probes into corruption or his past lobbying ties, this one is

all about Trump. And the possible election crimes, Giuliani, may have attempted

for Donald Trump. And specifically for Donald Trump in Georgia, like when Giuliani, a former prosecutor

who really ought to know better, stood inside the jurisdiction of the prosecutor who is now

warning him today that he's a criminal target,

stood in that jurisdiction and made those false claims within this wider plot to try to steal

the election.

There's overwhelming proof of fraud.

I don't have to be a genius to figure out that those votes are not legitimate vote.

Late today, Georgia prosecutors formally stated Giuliani is their target.
