Feds Say

Warning that their quest for information about their search warrants could compromise an active grand jury investigation against them and “others,” federal prosecutors argued in a legal brief that Rudy Giuliani and Victoria Toensing should not be “above the law” because of their connections as attorneys.

“Giuliani and Toensing’s additional requests proceed from a central premise: that a different set of rules apply to them because of who they are, whether it is because they are lawyers or lawyers with important clients,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebekah Donaleski wrote in a 37-page legal brief on Thursday evening. “Giuliani and Toensing are lawyers, to be sure. But this Court has found probable cause that their devices and accounts contain evidence of specified federal crimes.”

Prosecutors do not spell out the names of those “important clients,” whose identities would be known to even non-legal observers. The former New York City mayor is the sometime lawyer for former President Donald Trump and Toensing, a conservative lawyer and sometime Fox News commentator, worked with Giuliani on the sprawling effort to overturn the 2020 election.

Toensing also represented Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash, who is facing federal bribery charges in the United States and whose name came up repeatedly in connection with the smear campaign against President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, which led to Trump’s first impeachment. Prosecutors executed covert warrants on Giuliani and Toensing’s iCloud accounts on Nov. 4, 2019—during the height of Trump’s Ukraine scandal.
