It appears as though the Biden administration’s priorities are shifting once again, from running the nation as smoothly and prosperously as possible, to fomenting retribution and revenge against the last man to sit at the Resolute Desk.
That’s thanks to the latest moves by the Justice Department, who’ve made it a habit of late to go after those associated with former President Donald Trump. This week’s victim isn’t new to the DOJ schtick, either.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is reportedly the subject of yet another Justice Department investigation, this one focusing on possible illegal lobbying he performed on behalf of Turkish clients.
Bloomberg News ran a story Tuesday claiming that the investigation, which has been underway for the past year, is focusing on Giuliani’s 2017 work for Reza Zarrab and Fethullah Gulen.
According to the report, Giuliani, then the personal attorney to then-President Donald Trump, pressed the Trump administration to both drop charges against Zarrab relating to a sanctions-evasion scheme and extradite Gulen, who was accused of attempting a 2016 failed coup against Turkish President Recep Erdogan. Zarrab eventually submitted a guilty plea in exchange for implicating Erdogan in the scheme, while the Trump administration declined to extradite Gulen.
This probe into Giuliani’s foreign work is not criminal in nature, however, a fact that distinguishes it from the other DOJ investigation into his work with Ukraine.
Giuliani has recently had his law license suspended by the State of New York over his claims regarding the 2020 election.
