Alan Dershowitz, a legal adviser to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, said he hopes former President Donald Trump will get involved in the legal fight over materials seized in a pair of FBI raids last week.
The Harvard law professor emeritus insisted that federal investigators obtaining a search warrant was the wrong tactic, considering that much of the information seized could be subject to attorney-client privilege. A New York City office and apartment belonging to Giuliani were raided on Wednesday. The business dealings of Giuliani, who is the former personal lawyer to Trump, is being investigated by the U.S. Attorney s Office of the Southern District of New York, the same office he led in the 1980s.

Fake news from the Leftmedia is a daily occurrence, but retractions are rare. Such a blue moon came over the weekend â when it was sure to get less attention â as The Washington Post, The New York Times, and NBC News retracted elements of their anonymously sourced coverage of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani after his apartment was raided by the FBI. Even the retractions, however, were backhanded and reinforced The Narrativeâ¢.
All three corrections were variations on a theme. Each media outlet had erroneously reported that Giuliani received a warning from the FBI that he and others were targets of a Russian disinformation campaign. âMr. Giuliani did not receive such a so-called defensive briefing,â said the Times in its correction. NBC News explained that a second anonymous source informed the network that âthe briefing was only prepared for Giuliani and not delivered to him, in part over concerns it might complicate the criminal investigation o
