The
subpoena, which was issued in November, also asks Giuliani to
provide testimony, said the person, who declined to be
identified as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the
matter.
The nature of the inquiry by the U.S. attorney in Washington
D.C., which began before Special Counsel Jack Smith was
appointed to oversee investigations into Trump, remains largely
under wraps.
The former mayor, who has served as Trump's personal attorney,
did not respond to requests by Reuters for comment.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia
did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The source said the subpoena sought, among other things, copies
of any retainer agreements between Trump and Giuliani, or the
Trump campaign and Giuliani, and records of payments and who
made those payments.
In December, a District of Columbia attorney ethics committee
said Giuliani violated at least one attorney ethics rule in his
work on a failed lawsuit by Trump challenging the 2020 election
results.
Giuliani's New York state law license was suspended in June 2021
after a state appeals court found he had made "demonstrably
false and misleading" statements that widespread voter fraud
undermined the 2020 election won by his Democratic opponent, Joe
Biden.
