Feds Oppose Handing Lev Parnas Goods from Rudy Giuliani Warrants--and Reveal More About the Probe
Shortly after a poorly redacted court filing by Rudy Giuliani’s former associate Lev Parnas revealed the more expansive reach of the government’s investigation, federal prosecutors opposed handing Parnas more of the evidence haul gleaned from warrants against the former New York City mayor, pro-Trump lawyer Victoria Toensing and others.
“Since the defendants’ arrest, the Government has produced hundreds of thousands of pages of discovery on a rolling basis,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebekah Donaleski wrote in an eight-page letter, arguing that no more court-mandated disclosure is needed.
“As part of those discovery productions, the defendants have received, among other things, copies of every search warrant and application relating to the indicted offenses; copies of every search warrant and application executed on the defendants’ accounts and devices, regardless of the offenses to which they relate; and the ‘responsive’ materials seized pursuant to those warrants,” the letter continues. “Each of the defendants has also received in individual discovery a complete copy of any account or device that belongs to them.”
Filed on Wednesday, the government’s letter hit the Southern District of New York’s docket one day after Parnas’s lawyer Joseph Bondy filed a letter to U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken—that may have revealed more than anticipated.
