I\u2019ve declined it several times. I\u2019ve had contracts in countries like Ukraine. In the contract is a clause that says I will not engage in lobbying or foreign representation. I don\u2019t do it because I felt it would be too compromising.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Giuliani then pivoted to discuss Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop, accusing the FBI of being disinterested in the hard drives which, according to Giuliani, <\/span><span>\u201cfall within the scope of the subpoena.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAt the end of the search, when they had taken about, I would say, seven or eight electronic items of mine \u2026 they weren\u2019t taking the three hard drives, which of course, are electronic devices. They just mimic the computer,\u201d Giuliani told Carlson. \u201cI said, \u2018Well, don\u2019t you want these?\u2019 And they said, \u2018What are they? I said, \u2018Those are Hunter Biden\u2019s hard drives. And they said \u2018no, no, no.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI said, \u2018Are you sure you don\u2019t want them? I mean the warrant required them to take it,&#8217;\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd they said, \u2018No, no, no.\u2019 One last time, I said, \u2018Don\u2019t you think you should take it?\u2019 And they said, \u2018No.&#8217;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Giuliani continued, claiming that the agents were <\/span><span>\u201ccompletely content to rely on my word that these were Hunter Biden\u2019s hard drives. I mean, they could have been Donald Trump\u2019s. They could have been Vladimir Putin\u2019s. They could have been anybody\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBut they relied on me, the man who had to be raided in the morning, because \u2014 I\u2019m going to destroy the evidence? I\u2019ve known about this for two years, Tucker,\u201d he added. \u201cI could have destroyed the evidence. The evidence is exculpatory. It proves the president and I and all of us are innocent. They are the ones who are committing \u2014 it\u2019s like projection. They are committing the crimes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Following the raid, <\/span><span>Robert J. Costello, Giuliani\u2019s lawyer, described the actions as \u201clegal thuggery,\u201d adding that the searches were \u201cunnecessary because his client had offered to answer prosecutors\u2019 questions, except those regarding Mr. Giuliani\u2019s privileged communications with the former president,\u201d according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/28\/nyregion\/rudy-giuliani-trump-ukraine-warrant.html?referringSource=articleShare\"><span>The New York Times<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-j7qwjs\">\n<div id=\"post-body-text\" readability=\"32.04347826087\">\n<div class=\"e12o35pe0 css-1wr5klf\" readability=\"10.68115942029\">\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
