Giuliani lawyers question legitimacy of search warrants

Lawyers for Rudy Giuliani urged a federal judge to order federal prosecutors to reveal the government’s justifications behind search warrants in an investigation into the former New York City mayor’s foreign business dealings.

In response to prosecutors requesting the appointment of an outside lawyer, or “special master,” to weigh the possible use of materials seized from Giuliani’s home and office in April, the legal team argued that data secretly collected from his iCloud account in 2019 might have been subject to attorney-client privilege as Giuliani was the personal lawyer to former President Donald Trump at the time.
