Trump's personal lawyer Giuliani hires his own attorneys

(Reuters) - Rudy Giuliani, a personal lawyer for U.S. President Donald Trump and a central figure in a congressional impeachment inquiry, has hired lawyers to represent him as he faces scrutiny by federal prosecutors in New York.

Prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office are examining Giuliani’s interactions with two men arrested in October for allegedly illegally funneling money to a pro-Trump election committee and other political candidates, according to another person familiar with the matter.

Giuliani has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing.

Giuliani is a central figure in a fast-moving U.S. House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into whether Trump abused his office for political gain.
