Former White House attorney Ty Cobb expressed his belief that Rudy Giuliani had compromised his integrity in order to shield former President Trump. This comes in the wake of an Arizona grand jury indictment being unsealed on Thursday, which charges the former New York City mayor for his alleged involvement in a “fake elector” scheme.
In a recent interview with CNN anchor Erin Burnett, Cobb discussed the recently unsealed indictment against Giuliani, who served as Trump’s former attorney. The indictment also targeted a group of other Trump allies and 11 “alternate electors” who claimed to be the state’s legitimate electors in December 2020.

Boris Epshteyn, a well-established Trump adviser, was among those indicted, according to Cobb. He emphasized that Epshteyn remains an integral part of Trump’s close-knit group.
He continued by expressing his concern over Giuliani’s unwavering loyalty to the former president, stating that it seemed as though Giuliani had gone to great lengths, even compromising his integrity, to protect him.
The Arizona grand jury indictment alleges that seven Trump aides and 11 pro-Trump Arizona Republicans made efforts to obstruct the legal transition of power from Trump to President Biden after the 2020 election.
The 18 defendants allegedly engaged in a scheme to fabricate claims of election fraud, with the aim of pressuring Arizona election officials to overturn President Biden’s narrow victory in the state. President Biden won the state by a margin of just over 10,000 votes.
The indictment stated that Joseph Biden was elected as President on November 3, 2020, both in Arizona and the United States.
The statement strongly asserts that the defendants and their unindicted coconspirators were determined to thwart the rightful transfer of the presidency, with the intention of retaining Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office, despite the clear mandate of Arizona’s voters. Their calculated scheme aimed to deprive the people of Arizona of their fundamental right to vote and have their votes duly acknowledged and counted.
Trump is not facing charges himself, but he is named as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Giuliani, Epshteyn, and five others are referred to in the charging documents without explicitly mentioning their names. However, the descriptions provided in the indictment leave little doubt about their identities. Among those implicated are Mark Meadows, Trump’s White House chief of staff, John Eastman, a lawyer who played a role in Trump’s campaign to overturn the election, Christina Bobb, a former Trump attorney now employed by the Republican National Committee, and Mike Roman, the director of Election Day operations for Trump’s 2020 campaign.
Arizona has become the fourth state to file charges against the pro-Trump electors, joining Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia.
