ATLANTA, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Rudy Giuliani, who served as Donald Trump's personal lawyer, said he was traveling to Georgia on Wednesday to surrender over state criminal charges that he sought to overturn the former U.S. president's 2020 election loss.

Six other of Trump's co-defendants in the criminal case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis accusing him and his associates of trying to reverse his 2020 election loss in Georgia already have surrendered at an Atlanta jail, according to county records.

Speaking in New York, Giuliani denied wrongdoing and defended Trump.

"I'm going to Georgia and I'm feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I'm defending the rights of all Americans," Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and New York City mayor, told reporters. "I'm telling the truth, they're lying."

Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination to face Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, was set to turn himself in on Thursday to face his fourth criminal indictment this year. The remaining 11 co-defendants named in the Georgia indictment have until Friday to surrender.

Trump has called his four indictments politically motivated.

Taking all bets as to what liquid emerges from his head during this distressing event for him.

Short odds on oil and sweat.
