One source familiar with the matter told NBC News that an investigation into the former New York mayor being conducted by the Southern District of New York is still “very active.” The same source and another also claimed that SDNY prosecutors told Justice Department officials in Washington, D.C., that they want to see Giuliani’s emails.
Per agency policy, Justice Department officials in Washington, D.C., must give the permission to the SDNY before prosecutors can ask a judge to sign a search warrant for communications that might be guarded by attorney-client privilege.
Spokespeople for both the Justice Department and the SDNY refused to comment on the report. Giuliani’s attorney, Robert Costello, told NBC News that he has “no reason to believe there’s any truth to the allegations that there is renewed interest in my client.”

Although details about the SDNY inquiry into Giuliani are being kept tightly under wraps, in 2019, the New York Times reported that he was being investigated by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. The investigators were reportedly probing whether Giuliani broke lobbying laws for his work in Ukraine.

Two of Giuliani’s associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were charged last year for an alleged plot to use straw donors to send illegal contributions to political figures in order to advance their own business and political interests. They both pleaded not guilty. Also charged were Ukrainian-born Andrey Kukushkin and David Correia, who as well pleaded not guilty. However, Correia changed his position and pleaded guilty in October to defrauding investors.
BIDEN'S CRUCIAL CROSSROADS: GAZA CEASE-FIRE NEGOTIATIONS REACH CRITICAL JUNCTURE
Giuliani, who is now leading Trump's legal effort to challenge the results of the 2020 election, denied a New York Times report a few weeks ago that claimed he spoke to Trump about a pardon.
This, all while US media institutions — especially the privileged social-media companies keep secretly covering for the Biden family by trying to suppress rather than report on The Post’s scoops.
HOW DEMOCRATS' ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTS ARE TURNING INTO THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE
A majority of voters believe the media intentionally buried The Post’s October bombshell about Hunter Biden’s laptop to help his father Joe Biden’s political campaign, a Rasmussen Reports poll showed Tuesday.
The poll found 52 percent of likely voters believe media companies provided scant coverage of the laptop story — which shed light on Hunter’s Ukrainian and Chinese business activities and suggested Joe Biden knew about them, despite his denials — in order to boost Biden’s prospects in the election, then a few weeks off. Only 32 percent disagreed.

Last week, Hunter Biden all-but-confirmed the laptop story by admitting the feds were probing him, and Fox News had previously confirmed that the laptop was in fact part of an FBI probe. So there was never any good justification for burying this news. (The “this may be Russian disinformation” excuse never had any basis in fact.)
