Special counsel Jack Smith\u2019s team has subpoenaed Donald Trump\u2019s former attorney\u00a0Rudy Giuliani, asking him to turn over records to a federal grand jury as part of an investigation into the former president\u2019s fundraising following the 2020 election, according to a person familiar with the subpoena.
\nThe subpoena, which was sent more than a month ago and has not been previously reported, requests documents from Giuliani about payments he received around the 2020 election, when Giuliani filed numerous lawsuits on Trump\u2019s behalf contesting the election results, the person said.
\nProsecutors have also subpoenaed other witnesses who are close to Trump, asking specifically for documents related to disbursements from the Save America PAC, Trump\u2019s primary fundraising operation set up shortly after the 2020 election, according to other sources with insight into the probe.
\nTaken together, the subpoenas demonstrate prosecutors\u2019 growing interest in following the money after the 2020 election as part of their sweeping criminal probe around Trump\u2019s efforts to overturn his loss of the presidency.
\nSave America was part of broader fundraising efforts by Trump and the Republican Party that raised more than $250 million after the election. Since then, the political action committee has compensated several lawyers who\u00a0now represent Trump\u00a0and\u00a0his allies\u00a0in January 6-related investigations.
\nThe subpoenas to other witnesses in addition to Giuliani were sent in late December, according to the other sources.
\nThe information the prosecutors seek is still being collected, the sources said. With Giuliani, the investigators have prioritized getting financial information from him, one person said.
\nThe inquiry to Giuliani came from David Rody, a former top prosecutor in New York who specializes in gang and conspiracy cases and\u00a0is assisting Smith with examining\u00a0a broader criminal conspiracy after the election, according to some of the sources.
\nIn response to being informed of CNN\u2019s reporting on Giuliani\u2019s subpoena and asked for a statement, Ted Goodman, his adviser<\/p>\n
