Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges for foreign contacts ahead of 2020 election, prosecutors say

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges over his interactions with Ukrainian figures in the runup to the 2020 presidential election, federal prosecutors revealed in a letter to a judge Monday.

Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan said they made the decision after reviewing electronic evidence gathered in raids on Giuliani's home and law office in April 2021.

Federal prosecutors had examined whether Giuliani should have registered as a foreign agent because of his dealings with Ukrainians who wanted his help pressuring then-President Donald Trump's administration, while he was looking for their help launching an investigation that might hurt Democratic rival Joe Biden.
