The Manhattan U.S. attorney's office, which is conducting the investigation, already is prosecuting two of Giuliani's associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who are charged with campaign finance crimes.

Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and current lawyer for U.S. President Donald Trump, speaks to members of the media during a White House Sports and Fitness Day at the South Lawn of the White House May 30, 2018 in Washington, DC.

The subpoenas, which went out to people with ties to Giuliani, "suggest that prosecutors are looking closely at the work of Mr. Giuliani himself, according to people familiar with the matter," the Journal reported. Giuliani, a former New York mayor who previously headed that same Manhattan federal prosecutors' office, has not been criminally charged.

Parnas and Fruman helped Giuliani in an effort to get the government of Ukraine to open investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Trump's request to Ukraine to conduct such a probe of the elder Biden, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, ignited ongoing impeachment proceedings by the House of Representatives against the president.
