According to reports, federal investigators raided the apartment former New York mayor and person lawyer to former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, on Wednesday.
Bob Costello, a lawyer for Giuliani, confirmed that there was indeed a search warrant executed and that electric devices were seized.
The warrant is part of a prob into his business dealings with Ukraine.
In addition to his Madison Avenue apartment, The Associated Press, citing an unnamed source, reported that investigators also executed a warrant at Giuliani’s office on Park Avenue.
Michael Cohen, a former personal lawyer to Trump who has become a critic of his former boss, tweeted: "Here we go folks!!!"
Giuliani has been under investigation for several years over his business dealings in Ukraine. Details of the searches were not immediately available.
Two former associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, have been charged with campaign finance violations and other crimes.
Parnas' and Fruman's work included efforts to help Giuliani dig up damaging information before the 2020 election about Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, and what prosecutors called an effort to remove then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
The federal probe into Giuliani's overseas and business dealings stalled last year because of a dispute over investigative tactics as Trump sought reelection, and amid Giuliani’s prominent role in subsequently disputing the results of the contest on Trump’s behalf.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan had pushed last year for a search warrant for records, including some of Giuliani’s communications, but officials in the Trump-era Justice Department would not sign off on the request, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation who insisted on anonymity to speak about an ongoing investigation.
