NEW YORK (AP) â Federal agents raided Rudy Giulianiâs Manhattan home and office Wednesday, seizing computers and cellphones in a major escalation of the Justice Departmentâs investigation into the business dealings of former President Donald Trumpâs personal lawyer.
Giuliani, the 76-year-old former New York City mayor once celebrated for his leadership after 9/11, has been under federal scrutiny for several years over his ties to Ukraine. The dual searches sent the strongest signal yet that he could eventually face federal charges.
