The Wall Street Journal reports:
Subpoenas issued to people with ties to President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and his associates indicate a broad federal investigation into possible money laundering, obstruction of justice and campaign-finance violations, and suggest that prosecutors are looking closely at the work of Mr. Giuliani himself, according to people familiar with the matter.

Subpoenas described to @WSJ listed more than half a dozen potential charges under consideration:
– obstruction of justice
– money laundering
– conspiracy to defraud the U.S.
– making false statements
– FARA violations
– donating foreign $
– donating in another person’s name https://t.co/7h1YF2TtRf— Rebecca Ballhaus (@rebeccaballhaus) November 25, 2019
Giuliani tells @WSJ he hasn’t been contacted by investigators. “There’s obviously a concerted effort to spread as many lies about me as possible, to destroy my reputation so that I’m not credible when I continue to reveal all of the massive evidence of criminality by the Bidens.” https://t.co/7h1YF2TtRf

Lev Parnas told investors his plan was to secure a $20M federal grant. He hired Jack Burkman to help him get it. In 2014, Parnas told an investor he was heading to DC to meet Michelle Obama. No meeting occurred & he didn’t get a grant. @joe_palazzolo https://t.co/sDBYR5UXrs
