They also seized a phone from a Washington attorney, Victoria Toensing, who has advised Trump and worked with Giuliani on Ukraine-related matters, according to news reports. Two Ukrainian-born men, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who helped Giuliani in those efforts were arrested in October 2019 and charged with illegally funneling large donations to a pro-Trump fundraising committee.Giuliani’s son Andrew Giuliani condemned the raid outside his father’s apartment building, calling it “disgusting” and accusing the Justice Department of a political agenda.

Giuliani’s own attorney, Robert Costello, told the New York Times that the raids Wednesday were “legal thuggery.” Under the new attorney general, Merrick Garland, in the administration of now-President Biden, the warrants were evidently approved.Investigations of lawyers, especially those who represented a president, are highly sensitive, given protections they have for privileged dealings with clients.
