Trump Drops Giuliani As His Personal Lawyer

[PJMcK]

Rudy Giuliani is “not currently representing” former President Trump “in any legal matters,” senior Trump adviser Jason Miller told CNN and Reuters on Tuesday.

Trump’s dumping of the former New York City mayor, who emerged as the talking head of Trump’s unsuccessful attempt at overturning the presidential election results, comes on the heels of the former president signaling his frustration with his longtime ally following the House’s vote last month to impeach Trump for the second time.

A person familiar with the matter previously told CNN that Trump instructed his staff to stop paying Giuliani’s legal fees. CNN noted that aides were unclear if the former president was serious about his request to financially cut off Giuliani.

Fresh off of the Senate voting to acquit him for inciting the mob behind the deadly Capitol insurrection last month, Trump’s decision to cut ties with Giuliani on legal matters comes amid the former president and his now-former personal lawyer facing a slew of legal battles.

2. Giuliani's going down

What a fool he turned out to be.

His fealty to Trump was so stupid and now he's facing severe legal jeopardy. He's ruined his reputation, (such as it was). And now he's facing financial ruin.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving ass.

11. Rudy has always been an attention loving scumbag.

I remember him leading a cop intimidation session outside Gracie Mansion when David Dinkins was Mayor. Rudy has no ethics, it has been reported that he was with his mistress the morning that the planes hit the Twin Towers.

He's being sued for $1.7 billion by the company that made some of the voting machines used in the 2020 election.

10. Won't RudyG make a great witness AGAINST trump?

Why yes, I think he will !!
In any number of civil and criminal cases.
Especially if he didn't get paid all his fees, and you know he didn't.

8. Giuliani has always been an ass

He's ruined his life and reputation at the feet of the most corrupt person in American history only to be cast aside as so many before him.

What a fool.

12. Rudy was a scumbag long before he joined Trump in Washington.

I remember news accounts of him leading a cop protest outside Gracie Mansion when Dinkins was Mayor. And history has recorded some of the grotesque shit that the NYPD did to minority citizens when Rudy was Mayor.

9. Reminds me of a line that the thug that Mel Gibson played in

the movie “Payback”. After he had fooled the mafia chieftain and his top lieutenant into a room where they were blown up, the character said “they should have known not to trust me”. Well, Rudy should have seen enough not to have trusted Trump, but he trusted Trump anyway, now Rudy pays for that trust. Good, an asshole screwing another asshole.

13. I thought he already did?
