Giuliani probe awaits Garland as he nears AG confirmation

By Jim Mustian, Eric Tucker and Michael Balsamo Associated Press

NEW YORK — With Merrick Garland poised to be confirmed as attorney general as early as next week, one of the first major questions he is likely to encounter is what to do about Rudy Giuliani. A federal probe into the overseas and business dealings of the former New York City mayor and close ally of former President Donald Trump stalled last year over a dispute over investigative tactics as Trump unsuccessfully sought reelection and amid Giuliani’s prominent role in subsequently disputing the results of the contest on Trump’s behalf. But the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has since returned to the question of bringing a crimi- nal case against Giuliani, focusing at least in part on whether he broke U.S. lobbying laws by failing to register as a foreign agent related to his work, according to one current and one former law enforce- AP Photo ment official familiar with the inquiry.

Democrat and a potential deal breaker in the 50-50 chamber, was said to prefer a less-generous GOP alternative. The Senate’s work, including formally ending the minimum wage roll call that started in the morning, jerked to a halt as party leaders mapped how they would move ahead. The overall bill, aimed at battling the killer virus and nursing the staggered economy back to health, will provide direct payments of up to $1,400 to most Americans. There’s also money for COVID-19 vac- cines and testing, aid to state and local governments, help for schools and the airline industry, tax breaks for lower-earners and families with children, and sub- sidies for health insurance. The Senate voted 51-50 Thursday to begin debat- ing the legislation, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the pivotal tie-breaking vote. That nail-biter and a host of eleventh-hour deals Democratic leaders were cutting with rank-and-file lawmakers reflected the delicate task of moving the measure through the precariously divided 50-50 chamber. The package faces a solid wall of GOP opposition. Senate approval, considered likely over the week- end, would give the House time to approve the legis- lation and whisk it to Biden for his signature. Though the number of Democrats opposing the minimum wage plan was a surprise, its defeat was not. Solid Republican opposition had guaranteed in advance that proponents would fall well short of the Marcio Jose Sanchez | AP File 60 votes needed to win.
