NEW YORK AP 鈥?Federal agents raided Rudy Giulianis home and office in 2021 because they suspected the former New York City mayor had sought the removal of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine partly because of the prospect of a financial reward from a Ukrainian official, according to documents made public Tuesday.The documents provide new detail on the since-concluded investigation into Giulianis dealings with Ukrainian figures in the run up to the 2020 presidential election. Giuliani, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, was not charged with a crime as a result of the inquiry.In a search warrant application, federal agents seeking to seize Giulianis cell phones, laptop and other elec stanley de tronic devices raised the possibility that he and t stanley cup hree other people could be charged with acting as unregistered foreign agents.The documents, unsealed at the request of The New York Times, confirmed past news reports that federal prosecutors in Manhattan were examining whether Giuliani had gotten anything of value in return for lobbying the Trump administration to fire then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.The warrant application said Giuliani had been incentivized to lobby for the ambassadors removal in two ways.First, it said, the prosecutor general in Ukraine who wanted the ambassador fired, Yuriy Lutsenko, had offered to hire Giuliani to lobby the Trump stanley us administration for help recovering Ukrainian assets he believed had been misappropriated by a U.S. investment firm.

Like New York and Illinois before it, the commonwealth has an opportunity to take a leadership role by implementing a policy solution to preserve its nuclear energy facilities and the clean, reliable energy and good-paying jobs they provide, Exelons president and CEO, Chris Crane, said in a statement.Nuclear power plants have been hammered by the natural gas boom that has slashed electricity prices in competitive markets.Three Mile Island isnt alone: FirstEnergy Corp. has said |
