Giuliani seeks to limit what feds see on his electronics

NEW YORK (AP) — Rudy Giuliani wants to limit what federal investigators can see on his electronic devices to dates specified on search warrants that resulted in raids on his residence and office, according to a former federal judge appointed to oversee disputes over what criminal prosecutors get to look at.

Barbara Jones, a former Manhattan judge, filed a one-page order on Wednesday in Manhattan federal court that invites lawyers on both sides of the dispute to make their legal arguments over the issue by Sept. 8 before a federal judge who appointed her as special master decides the issue. The date-range on the warrants, which remain sealed, was not specified in the order.

Investigators are probing Giuliani’s interactions with Ukrainian figures to see if he violated a law governing lobbying on behalf of foreign countries or entities.

Jones was appointed to ensure prosecutors do not see materials protected by attorney-client and other privileges that were seized in the late-April raids on ex-President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney.

6. That actually seems like a reasonable position

If the search warrant was for a specific date range, say, June 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020, then the prosecution shouldn't be able to go on an unlimited fishing expedition through everything.

But it does raise the question, what else is in the electronic devices that might point to other crimes Rudy was involved with?
