Rudy Giuliani is being investigated by the FBI over a film he was trying to make about the Bidens an

and Ukraine

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into Rudy Giuliani over a film project he was working on about the Biden family and Ukraine, Mother Jones reported Thursday.

The investigation focuses on Giuliani and George Dickson III, a California entrepreneur, who were working on the film together, according to Mother Jones' sources, who were told about the probe by Dickson.

Mother Jones reported in May of 2020 that the pair was seeking $10 million to finance a documentary about presidential candidate Joe Biden and Ukraine.

Giuliani has been persistent in his attempts to uncover dirt on Biden's dealings with Ukraine. In June, CNN published leaked audio from 2019 that showed Giuliani, then the personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, pushing a Ukrainian official to publicly announce an investigation into Biden in order to improve relations between the country and the US.

I can't believe Chump hasn't done this yet ... get the RWNJ billionaires to fund his next movie or reality show. If Rudy had actually gotten any investors, I'm sure Chump would have gladly been his partner.

... from the Mother Jones source...

Documents obtained by Mother Jones indicate that Giuliani and his collaborators are recruiting investors at $1 million a pop and that they have considered the possibility of drawing in investors from overseas—though Giuliani’s lawyer denies there has been any effort to bring in foreign money. Any overseas investment in the project would raise the question of whether Giuliani, who has been looking for information from past and present Ukrainian officials for his anti-Biden work, is attempting to orchestrate foreign involvement in the current presidential election.

It is unclear to me what might be illegal about seeking foreign investors for a film. Even a political propaganda film.
