Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment and office were searched Wednesday by federal agents executing a warrant to seize evidence, including electronic devices, from the ex-New York mayor and lawyer to former President Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter said.

Manhattan federal prosecutors have been investigating Giuliani’s involvement with efforts to dig up dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine ahead of the 2020 election. Executing a search warrant is an extraordinary move for prosecutors to take against a lawyer, let alone a lawyer for a former president, and it marks a major turning point in the long-running probe.
