Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has a new side gig: conference headliner in Armenia. The 74-year old Trump defense attorney spoke Tuesday in Yerevan at the International Forum of Eurasian Partnership, a conference aimed at promoting the Eurasian Economic Union – the Russia-organized economic bloc.

The former New York City mayor and current personal attorney to President Trump was the final speaker at a plenary session titled “technological breakthroughs and potential opportunities of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union.”

Joining Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, was Sergey Glazyev, an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin who was sanctioned in March 2014 for his role in the annexation of Crimea.

It was not immediately clear whether – or how much – Giuliani received an honorarium for his visit. Phone calls and emails to his company, Giuliani Security & Safety, went unanswered.

4. I think it proves how deep his claws are in collusion with Russian oligarchs

He's been friends with the NY Trump for decades. I'm sure they may even be in on a few investments together. He has a vested interest in promoting Putin and blocking any investigations.
