from Sputnik News:
The raid on Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani on 28 April came as federal authorities were investigating whether he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) by lobbying the administration of the 46th POTUS on behalf of Ukrainian officials in 2019 – something the Former NYC mayor denies doing.
Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani has broken the silence on the recent raid on his New York home by FBI investigators. The search warrant executed on Wednesday, first reported by the New York Times, related to a probe reviewing whether he had broken lobbying laws while serving as a part of the previous administration.

I looked at the warrant, and I said, ‘You know, this is extraordinary because I offered to give these to the government and talk it over with them for two years’,” said Giuliani as he appeared on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Seven FBI agents with a search warrant had woken up the former New York City mayor at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, he said in the interview.

“The warrant is on one single failure to file for representing a Ukrainian national or official that I never represented. I never represented a Ukrainian national or official before the United States government. I’ve declined it several times.”
Giuliani particularly emphasised the fact that the FBI had shown no interest in the copy of the hard drive from a laptop allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son Hunter, which technically, should “fall within the scope of the subpoena”.
“I said, ‘Well, don’t you want these?’ And they said, ‘What are they? I said, ‘Those are Hunter Biden’s hard drives. And they said ‘no, no, no”.
According to Giuliani, as he persistently urged the agents to take the hard drives, they got visibly “perturbed”.
Rudy Giuliani expressed puzzlement over the way the agents seemed to take him at his word regarding the hard drives.
“I mean, they could have been Donald Trump’s. They could have been Vladimir Putin’s. They could have been anybody’s. But they relied on me, the man who had to be raided in the morning, because — I’m going to destroy the evidence? I’ve known about this for two years, Tucker,” he fumed.
As Giuliani slammed the Biden Justice Department for concocting the allegations against him instead of probing Hunter Biden’s “dozen or more violations of FARA that is spelled out completely,” he added:
