Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani has his work cut out for him in the coming weeks, and a strange slip-up seems to suggest that his troubles have only started.
Giuliani’s Manhattan office and apartment were raided by federal officials just weeks ago, with agents seen absconding with a number of electronic devices.
Now, in a bizarre twist of events, an erroneously-redacted court filing has revealed just what sort of trouble Giuliani could be facing.
New York federal prosecutors investigating Rudy Giuliani have seized material from a wider array of individuals than previously disclosed, including messages from email and iCloud accounts they believe belong to two former Ukrainian government officials, as well as the cell phone and iPad of a pro-Trump Ukrainian businessman, according to a court document unsealed Tuesday.
But then…
The court filing, which contained redacted portions that CNN was able to read by copying and pasting them into another document, also disclosed that federal prosecutors have “historical and prospective cell site information” related to Giuliani and another lawyer, Victoria Toensing, both of whom were the subjects of search warrants executed late last month.
The Ukrainians include the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko, the former head of the Ukrainian Fiscal Service Roman Nasirov and businessman Alexander Levin.
But these sorts of mistakes aren’t common…not in the least. A case with this sort of profile would normally be handled by only the most proficient of litigators and staffers.
Unless, of course this was no mistake at all…
