AP Sources: Feds Search Rudy Giuliani’s NYC Home, Office
New York (AP) — Federal agents on Wednesday raided Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan home and office, seizing computers and cell phones in a major escalation of the Justice Department’s investigation into the business dealings of former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer.
Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment and office were searched Wednesday by federal agents executing a warrant to seize evidence, including electronic devices, from the ex-New York mayor and lawyer to former President Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter said.
Manhattan federal prosecutors have been investigating Giuliani’s involvement with efforts to dig up dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine ahead of the 2020 election. Executing a search warrant is an extraordinary move for prosecutors to take against a lawyer, let alone a lawyer for a former president, and it marks a major turning point in the long-running probe.
Prosecutors had been seeking approval for a Giuliani warrant from the Justice Department in Washington for months, but senior officials declined to approve it during the Trump administration for several reasons, including the proximity to the presidential election and Trump’s challenge to the results, according to one of the people. Giuliani served as Trump’s main lawyer alleging Biden’s win was due to widespread voter fraud.
AZ GOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward: Democrats Want to Stall Process to May 14th — Here’s Why…
Arizona GOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward joined Grant Stinchfield on Newsmax TV on Tuesday night.
Ward gave an update on the ongoing forensic audit of Maricopa County ballots.
During the discussion, Dr. Ward revealed the continued lies by the Democrats and their multiple attempts to shut down the entire process.
Then Dr. Ward added this — Democrats are trying to shut down and delay the audit now because they know the Arizona Senate, both Republicans and Democrats, have rented Veterans Memorial Coliseum until May 14th.
This is why they stall!
They are terrified of what Republicans will find.

Election watchdogs urge Jimmy Kimmel to scrap plans to host MyPillow CEO
In a letter sent to Kimmel and several top executives at ABC, the groups, including Common Cause, the Democracy Initiative and the League of Women Voters of the United States, say Lindell should not be given a platform to spread misinformation about the 2020 presidential election.
“Lindell’s work in pushing election disinformation has already had significant consequences for our nation, including the violent insurrection on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol that led to at least five people losing their lives,” their letter reads.
Lindell’s unproven conspiracy theories about electoral fraud are “also rooted in racism and white supremacy,” the groups wrote.
“The disinformation he is trying to sell is part of a larger narrative that essentially wants to throw out millions of votes from cities where people of color make up a majority or significant portion of the voting population, including Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Las Vegas,” they said.
Lindell has been a vocal supporter of former President Trump and has continued to push claims of voter fraud leading to an election result Trump has said was “rigged” against him.
Just 0.03% of fully vaccinated in Wisconsin have gotten COVID-19, state says
Wisconsin has had 605 COVID-19 cases among the 1.8 million residents who are fully vaccinated, state health officials said Tuesday after the Wisconsin State Journal reported that officials had repeatedly declined to release the data.
The “breakthrough” infections represent 0.03% of people who have had both doses of the Moderna or Pfizer injections or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson shot.
That’s a higher share than the 0.008% represented by 7,157 breakthrough cases among more than 87 million fully immunized Americans reported last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the CDC said the national tally is an undercount, and experts say some infections are expected among those fully vaccinated because no vaccine is 100% effective.
North Carolina man killed by deputies hit them with car: prosecutors
District Attorney Andrew Womble told a judge at a hearing Wednesday that he viewed body camera video and disagreed with a characterization by attorneys for the family of Andrew Brown Jr. that his car was stationary when the shooting started.
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — A North Carolina prosecutor says that a Black man killed by deputies hit law enforcement officers with his car before they opened fire.
District Attorney Andrew Womble told a judge at a hearing Wednesday that he viewed body camera video and disagreed with a characterization by attorneys for the family of Andrew Brown Jr. that his car was stationary when the shooting started.
Womble said the video shows that Brown’s car made contact with law enforcement twice before shots could be heard on the video.
“As it backs up, it does make contact with law enforcement officers,” he said, adding that the car stops again. “The next movement of the car is forward. It is in the direction of law enforcement and makes contact with law enforcement. It is then and only then that you hear shots.”
Expected COVID baby boom may be baby bust: analysis
Births have fallen dramatically in many states during the coronavirus outbreak, according to an Associated Press analysis of preliminary data from half the country.
NEW YORK — When most of the U.S. went into lockdown over a year ago, some speculated that confining couples to their homes — with little to entertain them beyond Netflix — would lead to a lot of baby-making. But the statistics suggest the opposite happened.
Births have fallen dramatically in many states during the coronavirus outbreak, according to an Associated Press analysis of preliminary data from half the country.
The COVID-19 baby boom appears to be a baby bust.
Outdoor mask guidance echoes what many Americans already do
In the small Nebraska town of Oxford, the school district dropped its mask mandate last month in what was a fairly straightforward decision: Cases were down dramatically and it didn’t bother local officials that their move flouted Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
Those federal mask guidelines just didn’t seem to fit local conditions well in the town of about 800 people where hardly anyone wears a mask.
“We haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to what is going on at the federal level — mainly what is coming out through the state,” Southern Valley Superintendent Bryce Jorgensen said. “You just can’t compare Chicago to Oxford, Nebraska. Things are just different.”
