THREAD: NEW: A person directly familiar with the situation tells me that investigators in New York have questioned at least one witness about Rudy Giuliani’s work with Ukrainian oligarch Pavel Fuks as part of their criminal investigation into Trump’s personal attorney.

 

The probe into Giuliani is not only active but intensifying as investigators have asked detailed, substantive questions about Giuliani’s lobbying and his payments from various Ukrainian sources, including Fuks.

At issue is whether Giuliani lobbied the Trump administration in any capacity on behalf of Fuks or the city of Kharkiv in Ukraine. The contract predates Giuliani’s representation of Trump.

Forensic News has reported that Giuliani met in 2018 and 2019 with another TriGlobal board member who is a Kremlin insider. CNN later confirmed that NY investigators were probing Giuliani’s actions with regards to the Biden emails. https://t.co/7l8wFovuD5

This is a federal investigation and thus falls under the category of potential crimes that Trump can pardon in the next 16 days.
