Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are examining Rudy Giuliani’s business dealings in Ukraine, including his finances, meetings and work for a city mayor there, according to people familiar with the matter.

Investigators also have examined Mr. Giuliani’s bank records, according to the people.

Witnesses have been questioned about Mr. Giuliani since at least August by investigators, who also want to know more about Mr. Giuliani’s role in an alleged conspiracy involving two of his business associates, the people said. The investigation is being led by the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York.

Mr. Giuliani has denied wrongdoing and on Monday said he hadn’t been informed of any investigation. “They can look at my Ukraine business all they want,” he said.

2. snip

In May 2017, Giuliani Security & Safety inked a contract with the city administration of Kharkiv to streamline municipal emergency services, according to the company. A person familiar with the negotiations said Pavel Fuks, a Kharkiv native who had made a fortune in Russian real estate, paid the contract. Mr. Fuks didn’t respond to a request for comment.

About a decade earlier, Mr. Fuks had negotiated with Mr. Trump to license the Trump brand for a tower that Mr. Fuks was building, with other partners, in the Russian capital’s Moscow City, Mr. Fuks said at the time. The deal didn’t come together.

3. Check his hidden accounts in Cyprus

Wilbur Ross probably knows where to find them.

4. Sounds like a full on target of the investigation

Examining his bank records? So much for the idea that he is ancillary to the core investigation. He sounds like a full on subject.

6. Really,

With billy barr in the wings, the case could phase out or disappear upon his orders.

trDump could offer a keep quite pardon so Rudy doesn't spill the beans.

Criminal actions against Rudy in state courts would keep team trDump from gumming up the works and letting Rudy the snake walk free. The results of a federal case is just too easy for Team trDump to tamper with.
