Rudy Giuliani’s associates keep being arrested in airports and now we learn that Giuliani himself has been the subject of a counterintelligence investigation while he was aggressively representing Donald Trump in conversations with government officials in Ukraine.
Kenneth McCallion, a New York attorney with clients in Ukraine, told reporters that FBI counterintelligence agents had asked him questions about Giuliani’s ties to Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two of the men who’ve been arrested recently in airports and indicted on campaign finance charges relating to foreign influence on elections.
CNN reports that “The counterintelligence probe hinges in part on whether a foreign influence operation was trying to take advantage of Giuliani's business ties in Ukraine and with wealthy foreigners to make inroads with the White House, according to one person briefed on the matter.”
The counterintelligence investigation into Giuliani is being carried out by the Southern District of New York.
