DOJ sent inquiries to lobbying firms earlier this year raising questions on past work with Giuliani.
The letters sought to address whether firms failed to disclose Giuliani s work for foreign clients.
The scrutiny was a precursor to Wednesday s search of the former New York mayor s home and office.
The Justice Department s long-running investigation into Rudy Giuliani is creating problems for lobbyists with foreign clients and other political consultants suspected of working with the former New York mayor.
On Wednesday, federal investigators executed search warrants at Giuliani s office and residence in Manhattan, escalating a probe into his dealings in Ukraine during his time as President Donald Trump s personal lawyer.
