Federal prosecutors in New York are seeking records of payments to Rudy Giuliani, U.S. President Donald Trump's lawyer, as part of an active criminal investigation, according to a grand jury subpoena seen by Reuters.
The subpoena does not indicate that Giuliani is suspected of wrongdoing. But the crimes being investigated, it says, include money laundering, wire fraud, campaign finance violations, making false statements, obstruction of justice, and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). It requires disclosure of lobbying on behalf of foreign interests.
The subpoena requests that the recipient provide "all documents, including correspondence, with or related to Rudolph Giuliani, Giuliani Partners or any related person or entity," referring to his consulting company. The subpoena also seeks all "documents related to any actual or potential payments, or agreements to or with Giuliani."
