The FBI investigation into Rudy Giuliani’s apartment could be enormous. A former lawyer in the service of Donald Trump now trusts Giuliani to do everything.
Update from Saturday, May 1st, 2021, 5:00 p.m.: Would Rudy Giuliani go so far as to extradite his former client Donald Trump in order to evade a penalty himself as part of a deal? Michael Cohen, like Giuliani, a former lawyer working for Donald Trump, assumes exactly that.
Rudy Giuliani, Cohen told the TV broadcaster “CNN”, had “no interest” in going to prison and spending the golden years of his life behind bars. Before Trump became president, Giuliani could not stand Trump – and vice versa. “If you ask me: Yes, Rudy Giuliani would drop Trump in the blink of an eye.”
Raid on Rudy Giuliani: Donald Trump is raging – Joe Biden knew nothing
Update from Friday, April 30th, 2021, 10.15 a.m.: US President Joe Biden said he had not been informed in advance about the execution of the search warrant by the FBI in Rudy Giuliani’s house and office. “I give you my word, I was not informed,” said Biden on Thursday (04/29/2021) in an interview with Craig Melvin of MSNBC.
“I found out about it last night when the rest of the world found out about it, my word,” said Biden of the raids on Wednesday (April 28, 2021), during which FBI agents included computers and other electronic devices belonging to the former New York mayor and former federal prosecutor Giuliani confiscated.
Biden also underlined that he had not been briefed on the Giuliani investigation – which focuses on his business in Ukraine – or any other criminal investigation by the Justice Department. The department is also investigating Biden’s son Hunter’s tax affairs. “I have promised not to interfere in any way, order or try to stop the Justice Department’s investigation,” said Biden. “I am not asking for information. That is the independent judgment of the Department of Justice, “said the US President.
Raid on Rudy Giuliani: Biden criticizes Trump’s interference in the judiciary
Biden criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump for his efforts to get the Department of Justice to investigate certain individuals and cases, and for his repeated criticism of the Department’s investigations into individuals associated with Trump, including his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and GOP agent Roger Stone.
“This last government politicized the Justice Department so much, so many prosecutors left. Because it’s not a president’s role to say who should be prosecuted, when they should be prosecuted, and who shouldn’t, ”Biden said.
After Trump’s loss to Biden in the 2020 US election, Giuliani falsely claimed that Biden only won because of electoral fraud. Trump’s own attorney general, William Barr, said there was no evidence of such widespread fraud that led to Trump’s defeat.
