it tells us that it is quite broad and that they are exploring a range of potential criminal charges. all we know to date, before the subpoena, was that they returned to campaign finance violations. now we know they are considering wire fraud, obstruction of justice, lying to investigators. there s a lot that we don t know. this does show us that there is a very broad investigation and it could include a range of criminal conduct. and where does rudy giuliani fit into that? it s interesting. this subpoena is requesting from the person that received it any communications. but it is also asking for any communications with rudolph giuliani, his security consulting business giuliani partners, and it asks for any communications or records about any actions or potential payments to jue or any agreements relaigt to that. so they re looking at the money flow, the business relationship between all of these men. his name is all over it. what did they have to say?
relationship that they re poking around in. so president trump keeps and tolling rudolph giuliani s virtues as a crime fighter. reflect for a moment if you will, the epic journey of rudy giuliani from u.s. attorney to mayor to now friend of lev and igor. there are former u.s. attorneys who have been prosecuted in the past, very, very rarely but never by the office that they used to lead. let s be clear. he is not accused of anything. this is certainly an unusual he s always two-term mayor of new york city. a person who led the polls for the republican presidential primary for some time. didn t win but this was a major figure.
his attorney robert costello, a criminal defense lawyer, he gave us a statement where he said i did not receive any documents from giuliani or giuliani partners. it would not be surprising given that two of the individuals had a relationship with giuliani or giuliani partners. all the sdny had to do was asked us and we would have given them whatever they wanted because mayor giuliani has nothing to hide and did everything in a proper and legal way. so he is saying they haven t heard from the prosecutor s office and no subpoenas or voluntary requests for information. all right. stand by. jeffrey, his name, rudolph giuliani, is all over this subpoena. how worried should he be? well, to be fair, it is important to point out a subpoena is very far from an indictment. so he is not charged with anything. and he certainly may never be. but as the judge i used to clerk for liked to say, they don t
house counsel don mcgahn must testify before congress in the impeachment probe. how significant do you see that? look, i think it is critical. not just for this case but for the future of congressional oversight. part of what i would tell my republican colleagues is, do you really want to live in the world where any president has absolute immunity over any congressional oversight? i don t think you have to look too far in the future where that could be of great concern for you. and the immediate reaction is, i think it is a message to all the witnesses who obstructed in the white house for telling them not to appear. it is time to show up. do you think this ruling gives cover to someone like former national security adviser john bolton to testify in the impeachment inquiry? i think he might use it for that. but i m not sure why he feels like he needs it. if this was what he was described as saying, a drug deal, if rudolph giuliani was a
we still don t know exactly what rudolph giuliani did for l lev s company. it is called fraud guarantee. a last line every time. too on the nose. giuliani earned $500,000. we don t know doing what. could that fill in any blanks? rudolph giuliani has only said that he has done legal advice for this company for half a million dollars and he was paid in august of 2018. what we ve also learned is that a lawyer for a plaintiff s attorney who invested in the company, he said he s the one that paid giuliani and it was a loan to the company of the he thought would it help credibility. it s not clear what business they ve done. and prosecutors have asked individuals who were broexd this deal for any communications and information about this. so you can tell that they re really digging into this and it may not be the only business
