(CNN)Rudy Giuliani was ordered by an Atlanta-area judge Tuesday to appear in person on August 17 in front of the special purpose grand jury investigating whether former President Donald Trump and his allies violated the law in their efforts to flip the 2020 election results in Georgia. Lawyers for Giuliani, who served as an attorney for Trump during the 2020 election, are seeking to delay his appearance -- originally scheduled for Tuesday -- saying he shouldn't fly after he underwent heart stent surgery last month.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney proposed that Giuliani explore land-based travel options. "John Madden drove all the way over the country in his big bus from stadium to stadium so one thing we need to explore is whether Mr. Giuliani could get here without jeopardizing his recovery and his health, on a train or on a bus or whatever it would be," McBurney said during the hearing.

Attorney Bill Thomas, who is representing Giuliani, told CNN after the hearing they are going to "explore all the options" for Giuliani's travel, and that they would plan to be "back here" on the 17th. "If the court orders that he travel by Greyhound to Atlanta, we are going to do what the court orders him to do," Thomas said during the hearing. It's still not clear if Giuliani is a target in the grand jury investigation. The subject came up briefly at the hearing when Giuliani's lawyer asked, but the judge said that the prosecutors didn't need to immediately respond.

McBurney signed off on the subpoena in early July, saying that Giuliani was a "necessary and material witness" in the special grand jury's investigation. The Fulton County District Attorney's office asked the judge to compel Giuliani to testify and said they would "provide alternate transportation including "bus or train" to ensure his appearance before the special grand jury, according to a court filing.

3. On this site it says you can travel after 2 days from receiving a stent in you heart.

Angioplasty (Stent) Procedure

If a patient has had coronary angioplasty (also known as a stent), as long as there have been no untoward complications such as bleeding, then it is safe to fly 2 days after your procedure. It is important to ensure you have had no chest pain following the procedure. If the procedure was performed through the femoral artery in the leg then it is important to make sure there is no bleeding in that area. It may be sensible to avoid lifting heavy bags during the journey to prevent any complications such as bleeding.
