Giuliani says he offered FBI agents Hunter Biden’s laptop during raid

Rudy Giuliani says he offered FBI agents Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drives during the early morning raid at his New York apartment.

Donald Trump’s layer told Tucker Carlson on Fox News that despite his offer the agents refused to take it from him.

The former mayor of New York’s Manhattan apartment was searched by agents earlier this week and they reportedly removed electronic equipment.

Mr Giuliani described the FBI agents as “somewhat apologetic” and “very professional” as they carried out the raid with a search warrant on behalf of federal prosecutors.

He told Carlson that when he offered the agents the Hunter Biden they refused to take them.

“They decided to leave those behind and were quite content to take my word that they were Hunter Biden’s hard drives, I mean they could have been Donald Trump’s, they could have been Vladimir Putin’s, they could have been anybody’s,” said Mr Giuliani.

He then complained about the early morning timing of the raid, which took place at around 6am.

“What? I’m going to destroy the evidence? I’ve known about this for two years, Tucker. I could have destroyed the evidence years ago,” said Mr Giuliani, before adding that there was no need to as “the evidence is exculpatory.”

Federal investigators from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which he used to run, are reportedly looking into Mr Giuliani’s dealings with politicians and business leaders in Ukraine and whether he violated the law on lobbying for foreign countries.

Mr Giuliani has insisted that all his work in Ukraine, where he tried to secure an investigation into Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden, was done on the behalf of Mr Trump.

He went on to mention Hunter Biden’s name so many times during the interview that at one point he called Carlson by that name.
