Rudy Giuliani subpoenaed by a federal grand jury

The New York Times and Bloomberg reported Monday that a federal grand jury in Washington has subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, the former attorney to Donald Trump.
The outlets were told by sources familiar with the matter that the subpoena was sent in November, before Jack Smith was appointed special counsel to take over investigations into possible efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the election results.
The Times reports that the subpoena demanded Giuliani hand over any documents related to his work for Trump and any payments he received. Shortly after President Joe Biden won the race against Trump, the president’s former attorney filed several lawsuits on his behalf attempting to overturn the results of the election. Some of the records that the source familiar with the matter said may relate to payments made by Trump’s fundraising effort, Save America PAC.
” Giuliani’s adviser told CNN that he is unaware of the specific claims by the anonymous source and therefore cannot respond,”
Bloomberg noted that there have been no known sightings of Giuliani at Washington’s federal courthouse in recent weeks.
The part of the inquiry surrounding Giuliani is unclear whether Smith’s office has taken over. The special counsel is currently exploring whether Trump attempted to interfere with the 2020 election results and looking into the presence of numerous classified documents found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last summer.
Sources told Bloomberg last week that Smith may wrap up his investigation soon and potentially file charges against Trump in the coming months.
An ongoing lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems for defamation is one of the many legal troubles Giuliani is facing. His law license was suspended in New York in 2021 after a court ruled that his “demonstrably false and misleading statements” linked to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election were grounds for suspension.
