No charges against Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine lobbying probe, prosecutors say – By Tom Winter, Jonathan Dienst and Dareh Gregorian (MSNBC) / Nov 14, 2022
Federal prosecutors said in a court filing that “criminal charges are not forthcoming” in the investigation that included agents seizing Giuliani’s electronics in April 2021.
Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges in a grand jury investigation that looked into whether he violated U.S. lobbying laws in his dealings with Ukraine, prosecutors said Monday.
Federal investigators in April 2021 seized electronic devices belonging to Giuliani, who was accused of trying to dig up dirt about the Bidens in Ukraine to benefit former President Donald Trump, in part to see if they contained any evidence showing efforts to oust U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and whether he ran afoul of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
In a court filing Monday, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York’s U.S. Attorney’s office told Judge Paul Oetken “that the grand jury investigation that led to the issuance of the above-referenced warrants has concluded, and that based on information currently available to the Government, criminal charges are not forthcoming.”
