Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s lawyer, told a court on Tuesday that he aims to represent the Trump 2020 campaign in its case to bar Pennsylvania from certifying ballots. “I, Rudolph William Giuliani, hereby petition the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to admit me to practice before that Court,” he wrote. “The rule of law will govern my entire conduct. I will not violate the law or place myself above the law,” he also wrote. About 30 minutes later, the court admitted Giuliani, according to another filing. It’s unclear whether Giuliani himself will make arguments before the court. Giuliani, who is a former federal prosecutor, is not admitted to practice law in the Pennsylvania federal court system, so he needed permission from Judge Matthew W. Brann to appear in the case. Giuliani, earlier in the day, said that the Pennsylvania case is contingent on nearly 700,000 ballots that he claimed “were counted surreptitiously.” “Frankly, that is a case that we would like to see get to the Supreme Court,” he told Fox Business, adding that elsewhere, “we’re probably going to sue in at least eight or nine” states that Republican poll watchers claimed were blocked from watching the vote-tabulation process on Nov.
