Giuliani won't face criminal charges in Ukraine lobbying probe

What they're saying: “In my business, we would call that total victory," Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, told AP. We appreciate what the US attorney’s has done. We only wish they had done it a lot sooner.”

• "The mayor has been completely and totally vindicated," Ted Goodman, a spokesperson and political advisor to the former New York City mayor, said in a statement to Axios.
• "We just hope this will help bring to an end the continuous and unwarranted attacks on the mayor — a man who is quite literally the most successful prosecutor of the most dangerous criminals over the past fifty years," Goodman added.

Flashback: Prosecutors were investigating whether Giuliani’s lobbying work in Ukraine before the 2020 election required him to register as a foreign agent.

• The search warrants were issued in 2021.

Meanwhile, former President Trump's personal lawyer remains a target in Georgia over efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
