Trump has told staff not to pay Rudy Giuliani over irritation at being impeached again

(CNN)President Donald Trump, irritated at being impeached for a second time, has told people to stop paying Rudy Giuliani's legal fees, a person familiar with the matter tells CNN, though aides were not clear if the President was serious about his instructions given he's lashing out at nearly everyone after the day's events.

Trump has been blaming his longtime personal attorney and many others for the predicament he now finds himself in, though he has not accepted any responsibility in public or in private, people familiar with his reaction told CNN. Giuliani is still expected to play a role in Trump's impeachment defense but has been left out of most conversations thus far.

"He's been holed up in the residence, that's never a good thing. He's by himself, not a lot of people to bounce ideas off of -- whenever that happens he goes to his worst instincts," that person said. "Now that Twitter isn't available God only knows what the outlet will be."

He has a history of using people he has compromised , and under his control, like Cruz, Graham, and Nunes, and others that abruptly turned into rabid trumpers. trump is also likely close to filing bankruptcy, and nearly broke. If not he will be soon I think, and he knows it.
