Federal prosecutors in New York are seeking records of payments to Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer, as part of an active criminal investigation, according to a grand jury subpoena seen by Reuters.
Giuliani’s lawyer Robert Costello said that he had not seen the subpoena, but if reports of the subpoena were correct that suggested “maybe they want to ask us questions.”
The subpoena shows that prosecutors are examining payments to Giuliani as they investigate two of his associates, Florida businessmen Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who pleaded not guilty last month to charges that they illegally funneled money to election candidates. Parnas has also acknowledged playing a role in aiding Giuliani in trying to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, the former vice president who is a leading contender for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential election to run against Republican Trump.
Lawmakers are investigating whether Trump abused his office for personal political gain in pressing Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son Hunter, who served as a director on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.
