Donald Trump just pushed Rudy Giuliani under the bus

CNN

(CNN)He turns on everyone eventually.

The "he" is, of course President Donald Trump. And the everyone is, well, everyone -- but in this case Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City who has risen to infamy in recent years as the President's personal lawyer.

In the wake of his second impeachment at the hands of the House on Wednesday, Trump told people around him to stop paying Giuliani's legal fees. As CNN reported on Thursday morning:

"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."

Seeking to do a bit of damage control Trump aide Jason Miller tweeted this out: "Just spoke with President Trump, and he told me that @RudyGiuliani is a great guy and a Patriot who devoted his services to the country! We all love America's Mayor!"

Trump doesn't pay for anything. All of those post-election contributions to help "stop the steal" went into paying the Orange anus's astronomical legal fees. I guess Trump knows this is his last chance to sheer his sheep, so he's going to keep it all for himself.

as Trump's lawyer. He's going to need a defense lawyer soon if there is any justice.
