SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 28 – Rudy Giuliani and
Guiliani Partners were subject
to a search warrant on April
28, 2021. On May 4, the US
Attorney's Office for the Southern
District of
New York docketed
a copy of their letter to SDNY
Judge J. Paul Oetken with many
redactions, including of the
number of electronic devices
seized.
On May 20,
endorsed that day by Judge
Oetken, a less redacted
letter, specifying that 18
devices were seized. Photo here,
full letter on Patreon here.
Victoria
Toensing had only one device
seized. On May 21 her counsel
wrote to Judge Oetken
requesting oral argument on
her still partially redacted
May 12 motion.
In
other redaction news, filed on May 25
(but dated May 20), a letter
by Parnas' lawyer Joseph Bondy
purported to redact portions
about the targets of the
warrants against Giuliani and
Giuliani Partners:
"In a chart, the
Government identified that it
had sought and seized a variety
of undisclosed materials from
multiple individuals, including:
the iCloud and e-mail accounts
of Rudolph Giuliani (11/04/19);
the iCloud account of Victoria
Toensing (11/04/19); an email
account believed to belong to
former Prosecutor General of
Ukraine, Yuriy Lutsenko
(11/6/19); an e-mail account
believed to belong to the former
head of the Ukrainian Fiscal
Service, Roman Nasirov
(12/10/19); the e-mail account
of Victoria Toensing (12/13/19);
the iPhone and iPad of pro-Trump
Ukrainian businessman Alexander
Levin (02/28/2020 and
3/02/2020); an iCloud account
believed to belong to Roman
Nasirov (03/03/2020); historical
and prospective cell site
information related to Rudolph
Giuliani and Victoria Toensing
(04/13/2021); electronic devices
of Rudolph Giuliani and Giuliani
Partners LLC (04/21/2021); and
the iPhone of Victoria
Toensing."
Now on May 28, this:
"ORDER. The Government's request
for appointment of a special
master is granted. Giuliani's
and Toensing's requests for
relief are denied. The parties
are directed to confer regarding
candidates for special master
and to submit proposed
candidates by June 4, 2021. If
the parties are unable to reach
agreement on a list of
candidates, they shall submit
their own proposed candidates.
SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge J.
Paul Oetken on 5/28/21)."
