Why Rudy Giuliani's Inaugural Tweet Is Causing A Stir

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Tuesday, May 14, 2024

"It's too late for a pardon, you do know that?" one Twitter user asked in response to Giuliani's tweet. "Lol get a lawyer," another advised. Someone else warned that Giuliani could be headed for "jail time" after failing to nab one of Trump's coveted pardons. "You goin' to prison," wrote a fourth person.

In the final hours of his presidency, Trump offered last-minute pardons to 74 people, including Steve Bannon, Lil Wayne, Casey Urlacher, and Bob Zangrillo, and commuted the sentences of 70 more.

While the exact nature of Giuliani's potential crimes was deemed as "unclear" in a report shared by The New York Times earlier this month, it was noted by the outlet that he was being investigated last summer by federal prosecutors in Manhattan who believe he took part in shady business dealings in Ukraine. It was also revealed that Giuliani may have had a role in ousting the American ambassador who was working out of the European country.
