(WASHINGTON) Former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani will not be charged with lobbying in Ukraine as part of the former president’s first impeachment trial, federal prosecutors announced Monday.
In April 2021, a high-level search of the former New York mayor’s apartment was conducted and “electronic devices” were seized as part of an investigation into his activities in Ukraine.
“The government wishes to inform the court that the grand jury investigation leading to this search has been completed and, based on the information gathered, no criminal prosecution is anticipated,” federal prosecutor Damian Williams wrote to the judge on Monday. the case
Rudy Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine came to light in late 2019 when the House of Representatives impeached the Republican president for “abuse of power.”
