"Privacy simplified And by the listeners and members of KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM in San Francisco and 89.3 of them in Sacramento. I'm Dave Freeman. Good morning now, 7 35. This is morning edition from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Steve Inskeep. Rudolph Giuliani has worn many hats over his decades in public life. Federal prosecutor mayor of New York City presidential candidate President Trump's personal attorney, and now he's facing possible legal trouble after FBI agents executed a search warrant yesterday at his Manhattan apartment and office. NPR Justice correspondent Ryan Lucas has covered Giuliani for years and is on the line, Ryan Good morning. Morning. So one of the investigators doing We've known for a while that investigators in New York were probing Giuliani's business dealings in his work related to Ukraine, and now that's taken a significant step forward with a search warrant. What you're on a half dozen FBI agents executed early yesterday at Giuliani's apartment and Upper East Side Manhattan offices. Well, Giuliani's lawyer, Robert Costello, told me, the agents took Giuliani's electronic devices. Costello said the search warrants indicate that investigators are looking into possible violations of foreign lobbying laws related to Giuliani's Ukraine work. Giuliani, of course, had business dealings in Ukraine going back many years, but he famously Played a central role in the Ukraine scandal that led to President Trump's first impeachment now and so now they've executed these search warrants and not only on him right? There's an associate that has also been a target here. That's right. It's a lawyer that Giuliani worked with on Ukraine matters. Her name is Victoria Tensing. Our colleague, Carrie Johnson has learned that two agents from New York showed up at 10 Sean's house outside Washington with a warrant for her cell phone, which she handed over the warrant mentioned foreign lobbying violations. Canteens law firm put out a statement, which said that tension is not the target of this investigation. But as you said Tensing did collaborate with Giuliani on his Ukraine claims. You may remember two of Giuliani's associates left partners and Igor Frumin. Were indicted in 2019 on campaign finance and other charges. They helped Giuliani try together damaging information in Ukraine about Joe Biden. Parnaz also worked with Victoria Tensing. Now. Giuliani's lawyer told me that investigators are seeking Giuliani's communications with Parness and Frumin and others. One of those others is John Solomon, who is a columnist to help amplify Giuliani's Ukraine claims Giuliani's lawyer and his son have complained about this treatment because he is a lawyer. Is it unusual for prosecutors to execute a search warrant on a lawyer? It's unusual, but it's not unheard of for investigators to do this. Something like this normally requires approval from senior officials at the Justice Department because of concerns about attorney client privilege. It's obviously a huge deal when the attorney worked for the former president of the United States. I remember a federal judge has to sign off on a search warrant like this as well. So that means investigators were able to convince a federal judge that a crime was likely committed and that there would be evidence of it in the specific location. All of this suggests former prosecutors tell me that this investigation is pretty far along What's Giuliani himself, saying he's normally quite talkative. He is normally quite talkative. He has not said anything. He tweeted out a statement from his attorney late last night, but that's it. His son, Andrew, As you mentioned, has talked about this. He talked briefly with reporters on his way into his father's building. Hey, said it was absurd. It was disgusting, he said. If it can happen to the former president's lawyer, it can happen to anybody. It's important to say that Giuliani hasn't been charged with a crime. At this point. I've spoken with him in the past about his foreign lobbying, he said. He always followed the law, his lawyer told me the same yesterday. Nevertheless, this is a remarkable change of fortune for Giuliani. He was America's mayor. After 9 11. He was deeply involved in some of President Trump's controversies, including Of course, perpetuating the falsehood that Trump lost the election divided because of fraud. But some people may forget that he was a hard charging US attorney in Manhattan, the 19 eighties and now he's being investigated by that very same office. He wants 11. Brian. Thanks. Thank you. NPR's Ryan Lucas Mm. Three U. S. Justice Department is bringing hate crime charges against the three men who are in custody for the killing of Amador Bree last year. Armory was jogging through a Georgia neighborhood in February, 2020 when the men allegedly chased him in pickup trucks, confronted him and shot him. All three of the men are white Arboria was black. Georgia Public Broadcasting's Emily Jones is with us now. Good morning, Emily. Good morning, Emily. What are these new federal charges? Exactly? How are they different from the case against these men already? Well Before this, they only face state charges, which included murder and assault and false imprisonment charges. But many people on the ground here in Georgia and nationwide have been calling this a hate crime. From the very beginning. Here's the mods. Aunt Thea Brooks. Had to be Nothing but hate. It had to be because, um Skin color. But Georgia had no state hate crime law on the books at the time of this shooting. Esso, What's new now is a federal grand jury has now indicted them on several federal counts. Including using force and threats of force to interfere with our Berries right to use a public street because of his race, and that is a hate crime. The U. S. Department of Justice has also charged these men with attempted kidnapping as well. So, as we've said the shooting happened back in February of 2020, But the men charged in his death weren't arrested for several months after that. Explain why S so there are a couple reasons for that. One of the men, Gregory McMichael worked for a long time as an investigator in the local district attorney's office s O. On a practical level. The case went through several district attorneys who had to recuse themselves with conflicts of interest because of that work that he did. And of course, you know the accusation from activists and from our Berries. Family has also been that there was there was an attempt to kind of protect their own back on the half of law enforcement locally. But then in May of 2020 a couple things happen, Sort of all at once. This video came out showing the shooting, and that really sparked protests over this and also right around the same time, state investigators stepped in, and once the state was involved, it only took a couple of days for them to arrest these men. It's now been more than a year since I'm a debris was killed nearly a year since since that video came out. Just explain what has happened in that time. Well, there have actually been several changes. The D. A. That I mentioned to Gregory McMichael worked for she was voted out. Georgia also did pass a hate crime law last summer and also repealed its citizens arrest law, and both of those legal changes were in response to the protests that broke out over the killing of Ahmad Armory. So the federal case is just beginning. What is next at the state level? There isn't a trial date yet. But there are a couple of hearings next month on several motions in that case, and also after a long delay because of covert 19, Georgia courts are now allowed to hold jury trials again. S so all of that does bring this case. Just a couple steps closer to at some point going to trial. Right? Georgia Public Broadcasting's Emily Jones. Thank you So much for the update. We appreciate it. Thank you. This afternoon on all things considered. We learn about President Biden's choice to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

In attorney for the family of Ahmad arbitrary is perfectly clear on his view of what happened to the twenty five year old Black Man jogging near his Georgia home. On February twenty third chased him let community until they caught up with and then they executed him like a modern day. Mitch if crump's name sounds familiar. It's because he was the lawyer for the family of Trayvon Martin. The seventeen year old shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida on February. Twenty Sixth Twenty twelve listen to crump talk about the eerie similarities between the February. Twenty twenty killing of the MoD arbitrary and the February twenty twelve killings of Trayvon Martin. Right Down Attorney Benjamin crump thank you very much for coming on the PODCAST. Thank you fabric down at their decades covering. They're for the story. So you and I got to know each other eight years ago because of the the killing of trayvon Martin and the similarities between the killing of Trayvon Martin and the killing of a Marbury are really. It's kind of Irie. Could you bring us up to up to speed on on the facts of the case as as we talk right? Now I'll tell you have ever similar those fat X. Between tricky behind and Ahmad Aubrey navigate tragically Ahmad. Aubrey was changed by a murderous duo of FOB. Said to a Gregory and Travis met Michaels and another man then William Brian who has yet to be arrested ads on this day. He is alleged to beat the individuals driving other a ambushed Ahmad and was taken the video recording of this execution ago. By saying a I have a teacher Johnson and Jive was on and he was a person who with are routinely. He liked to stay in shape as many people. A heat with said show as for whatever reasons we believe. We know why they did it but they suspected him of a burglary and a jumped into their pickup truck shotgun. Jonathan and a three fifty seven magnum and they chased him that community into they caught up with him and then they execute it him like a modern day mentioned. And we see on that. Video is so tragic Washing see that video. You can't see and that's what happens. We watched the execution of his young on all black man killed. We believe because he was racially profile. And the police show up and they take the words of the killer's apparently because the killers are allowed to go home and sleep in their bed. Bites while on. Albury is taken to the more you know There are so many things here In the The facts of the case that you just spelled out and I just want it there. Is the police report as it was filed in the moments after after the shooting after the killing where it says the witnesses said that arbitrary looked like a suspect who had been Breaking into that particular house and that They saw him quote unquote hauling ass down the street and when you look at the video I WanNa talk about how we got this video to begin with but when you look at the video. He's not hauling. Ass Johnson. He's doing what most people in America he is. Simply interest is and you know you put in contact. They come up with some a believable reasons. The killers down. It's you'd think about a walking while driving while black Both in general it is apartment literal while blatch Trae Bob more walking home while blatch may is submitted things Attia Jefferson sitting in her house living while black and now we come to Amman Albury and he's just Jonathan Wa black. They suspected him for that. All right let's talk about the McMichael's Chavis Michael Is the person who had the shotgun And fired the shots. That killed Ahmed Arbitrary and George. Mcmichael is the father who is standing in the back of the pickup truck with a three fifty seven magnum. A talk about why Gregory McMichael in particular is problematic in this case. Certainly we believe that the police did not arrest these murderous fob and said do also the cost Gregory met. Michael was a former police officer and had a thirty year. Employment will as a detected as a DA with the local district attorney. Glenn cowards so we believe they did not want to arrest their friends their colleagues and so that is what reason. We suspect Jonathan that they didn't arrest him. The other reason is even more heinous. We believe because Aubrey was a young for American that the police simply took the word of his white careless that he was up to no good that he was committing a burglary without doing any of appropriate investigation. Apparently because you know if he was A. Where's the burglar's mask? Where's the Burgers toes whereas the burger bags you know whereas the incident allegations of burglaries in this neighborhood? In the past says they suspended he had committed burglaries before. Or is it simply? They know that he wasn't a burger but it didn't matter because they had made a decision that they were not going to rest their France. Who happened to me? The killing this young black man
