• Federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York are investigating whether Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer and the former mayor of New York, broke laws governing foreign lobbying related to his work in Ukraine, The New York Times reported Friday night.
• Two sources familiar with the investigation told The Times that investigators are looking into his role in the recall of former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie L. Yovanovitch, who was removed this spring before her post was up.
• Giuliani has admitted that he sought dirt on political adversaries including former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, along with Yovannovitch — and he had contact with former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko.
• "Look, you can try to contort anything into anything, but if they have any degree of objectivity or fairness, it would be kind of ridiculous to say I was doing it on Lutsenko's behalf when I was representing the president of the United States," Giuliani told The Times.
