  • If Biden runs, Giuliani says Trump will raid all of his homes.

  • Giuliani said that breaking into the home of a former president is a political act.

  • The FBI is looking into whether Trump violated the Espionage Act.

The ex-personal lawyer to the former president argued that the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago club was related to the raid on Biden's home.

The New York Post quoted Giuliani as saying that Trump could use the FBI to retaliate against Biden if he were to return to the White House.

It's a political act to break into a former president's house. The first president of the United States to introduce the banana-republic process was you. We avoided it for over two centuries. It was not Trump who did it to Hillary. He said that Ford didn't do it.

He said that if Trump is elected, he will raid every single house of Biden.

Giuliani told the newspaper that the search was done to aid the House committee in their investigation of the Capitol Riot.

The Espionage Act bars the unauthorized removal of defense-related information that could aid a foreign government if the documents are found to be related to a potential violation of the Espionage Act.

The president is being investigated for possible obstruction of justice.

After the ex-president left the Oval Office, Giuliani played a key role in the administration.

Hunter Biden, the son of the president, sat on the board of a Ukrainian natural-gas company.

In December of last year, the House voted to charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for his alleged attempts to influence the 2020 election. He was found not guilty on both articles of impeachment in February 2020.

Giuliani wanted to know about Hunter Biden's business dealings from a laptop that belonged to a former member of the board of directors.

Even as the Department of Justice continues its investigation of the presidential son, Republicans are trying to investigate Hunter Biden if they capture one or both of the chambers of Congress. The New York Times reported that he could be charged with tax violations.

Giuliani has been an ardent supporter of Trump's challenges to the election.

Michael Wolff wrote in "Landslide: The Final days of the Trump Presidency" that Rudy Giuliani wanted Trump to declare victory after the polls closed.

We have won. We need to proclaim victory. MarkMeadows and Bill Stepien were in the group at the time.

They will take it from us if we don't say we won. We've won Michigan. Giuliani said something else. Trump lost Michigan by a three percentage point margin.
