MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow reported breaking news tonight that Rudy Giuliani, a member of outgoing president Donald Trump’s Elite Special Force Team of legal advisors, is the subject of a “very active” federal criminal investigation based out of the Southern District of New York.
“We can report tonight, according to two sources familiar with the investigation, that federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have expressed interest in and discussed the possibility of trying to obtain Mr. Giuliani’s electronic communications,” Maddow reported.
Broadly speaking, the federal prosecutors have talked about trying to obtain those communications for a case against Mr. Giuliani that is not just ongoing, it may be ramping up,” Maddow continued, noting that the story was posted on NBCNews.com simultaneous to her breaking it on air.
