Ex-President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges, more than a year after the FBI raided his Manhattan apartment and office.

FBI agents searched Giuliani’s residence and seized his cell phones and computers in April 2021. Giuliani at the time denied wrongdoing and asked a judge to block investigators from going through his materials.

‘The grand jury investigation that led to the issuance of the above-referenced warrants has concluded,’ said Damian Williams, the US attorney in Manhattan, in a court filing on Monday.

‘Based on information currently available to the government, criminal charges are not forthcoming.’

US investigators were seeking to review Giuliani’s communications with more than a dozen people including Ukraine’s former president Petro Poroshenko and a high-ranking Ukrainian prosecutor.

Giuliani pleased when he found out that prosecutors would not press charges on him, said his attorney Bob Costello, who informed his client after the US attorney’s office issued the letter.

‘We are very pleased that they did this,’ Costello told ABC News. ‘I’m not surprised that they did this because I saw the evidence, or lack thereof, and knew Rudy Giuliani didn’t do anything wrong.’
