Rudy Giuliani needs to get on that midnight train to Georgia — or at least fly down to Atlanta.

The ex-NYC mayor was ordered by a Manhattan judge to testify under oath before a Georgia grand jury investigating former President Trump’s effort to bully election officials into overturning his narrow 2020 presidential election loss in the Peach State.

Last week, New York Supreme Court Justice Thomas Farber ordered Giuliani to appear before the special grand jury on Aug. 9, according to documents filed Wednesday in Atlanta’s Fulton County Superior Court.

So far, Giuliani has not challenged the order filed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Giuliani was a key player in Trump’s Big Lie campaign to overturn his election loss in Georgia and several other battleground states.

He pushed bogus fraud claims and presented a Georgia state Senate subcommittee with a video recording of Atlanta election workers that Giuliani claimed showed evidence of fraud.

Giuliani refused to back down even after the video was conclusively debunked and Georgia officials found that no voter fraud had taken place at the site.

“(Giuliani’s) appearance and testimony at the hearing was part of a multi-state, coordinated plan by the Trump Campaign to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere,” Willis said in the court filing.

Willis last year launched the probe after Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger taped a call of Trump demanding that he “find” enough votes for him to overtake Biden.

Willis says she is looking into “any coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections in this state.”

Willis has also demanded testimony from several top Georgia Republicans as well as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who called Raffensperger in December 2020 to ask if he could exclude mail-in ballots that favored Biden.

Willis has also warned she may charge Georgia Republicans who were named to a false slate of pro-Trump electors even though Biden was certified as the winner of the election in the state.

The Atlanta probe appears to be moving at a rapid pace and some legal eagles believe Willis is closer to winning an indictment of Trump than other investigations, including a federal probe of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
