Rudy Giuliani expected to wage court fight over files seized in federal raid
CNN
With federal authorities now in possession of Rudy Giuliani's electronic devices as a result of search warrants executed on his Manhattan residence and office Wednesday, federal officials anticipate a court fight over their potentially privileged contents.
Giuliani's lawyer, Robert Costello, raised alarms in the hours after the warrants were served on his client, who previously represented former President Donald Trump, saying the devices are "replete with the material covered by the attorney-client privilege and other constitutional privileges." For more than two years, Giuliani has been the focus of an investigation in the Manhattan US Attorney's office concerning his activities in Ukraine, including whether he conducted illegal lobbying for Ukrainian officials while he pursued an investigation linked to Trump's primary political rival, then-candidate Joe Biden.
