A federal judge on Friday appointed a special watchdog to review material recently seized from Rudy Giuliani as part of a criminal probe of the former New York City mayor, who has served as a personal lawyer for ex-President Donald Trump. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/04/rudy-giuliani-case-judge-appoints-special-master-for-trump-lawyers-criminal-case.html
The watchdog, former federal Judge Barbara Jones, will recommend what electronic files of Giuliani’s can be seen by prosecutors, and what material should be exempt as evidence because it is protected by attorney-client privilege.
Jones three years ago served in the same capacity as a so-called special master during the federal criminal investigation of Michael Cohen, who had been Trump’s personal lawyer for more than a decade before they had a falling out. Cohen later pleaded guilty in that case to multiple crimes and served more than a year in prison. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/26/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-appears-in-federal-court-for-hearing-.html

The audio is of a July 2019 phone call between Giuliani, US diplomat Kurt Volker, and Andriy Yermak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

According The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, last November President Trump shrugged off warnings that Giuliani and the GOP lawyer Sidney Powell’s claims about mass voter fraud in the 2020 election were becoming untethered from reality. Those concerns intensified after Giuliani and Powell held a rambling, sweaty news conference alleging that a global communist conspiracy was responsible for thwarting Trump in the election.
“They were just beyond bizarre,” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham told Trump afterward, according to the book. “And I think it took a lot of the air out of the balloon that the challenges are so unfocused, haphazard and conspirational.” He added that the news conference, during which black liquid was seen trickling down Giuliani’s face, “accelerated the beginning of the end.”
But Trump brushed Graham off, Woodward and Costa reported. He also told advisors of Giuliani: “He’s crazy. He says crazy shit. I get it. But none of the sane lawyers can represent me because they’ve been pressured. The actual lawyers have been told they cannot represent my campaign.”
“Fox News has banned Rudy Giuliani and his son from appearing on its network, Politico Playbook reported on Friday.

Prior to a scheduled appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Sept. 11, “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host Pete Hegseth apparently called the former New York City mayor the night before and apologized, telling him he had been canceled from their guest list.
A source close to the former New York City mayor told Playbook that Giuliani was upset by the decision because he had “done a big favor” for Fox Corp. founder and Chairman Rupert Murdoch.” https://thehill.com/media/573771-fox-news-bans-rudy-giuliani-from-appearing-report
