According to the Associated Press, on the 28th local time, former US President Trump's personal lawyer and former mayor of New York City Rudi Giuliani was searched by the FBI on the same day in his home and office in New York, and law enforcement officers seized a number of computers and mobile phones. And this investigation may be related to the previous investigation led by him about the Biden father and son "Tongwumen". Because the search warrant required for the search required permission from the top of the U.S. Department of Justice, it also suggests that prosecutors believe Giuliani may be suspected of federal charges.
In 2019, former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Giuliani were exposed to asking Ukraine to investigate then-Democratic presidential candidate Biden and his son because the father and son served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company. Due to the fermentation of the incident, Trump was later impeached by the US House of Representatives, and the prosecutor's investigation into Giuliani has lasted for more than a year, after Giuliani had called this investigation "pure political persecution".
The FBI raided Giuliani's home and office, where, according to the search warrant, he was suspected of violating foreign lobbying rules and targeted records of his correspondence with several people, including columnist John Solomon. Solomon has a close relationship with Giuliani, and during the 2020 U.S. election, Solomon made several "unfounded" allegations about Biden and Ukraine. While the search did not mean that Giuliani had committed a crime, it portended that the case had expanded to include the former mayor.
Giuliani, who served as mayor of New York from 1994 to 2001, was praised for directing the response to 9/11. Giuliani became a personal lawyer for former U.S. President Donald Trump in April 2018, when Trump was investigated for his involvement in Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. After Trump's defeat in the election last November, Giuliani also lobbied Republican state lawmakers in the hope that they would overturn the election results in favor of Trump's re-election.
It is worth mentioning that just in February this year, the 76-year-old Giuliani also made headlines in the US media because of a peach news, and he bluntly said when participating in a TV show that he and the media like to watch Wei Shengmei's game because they can often see Wei Shengmei exposing his underwear. Afterwards, Wei Shengmei slammed Giuliani on social media, "You really made me shudder, you kept smiling at me that day, showing appreciation for my performance in the game, who knew you were staring at my 'panties' all day!" ”
