"I think the Giuliani that I know would prosecute the Giuliani of today," said Jeffrey Harris, who worked closely with him in the 1980s.

On a Friday in late July, Rudy Giuliani boarded a plane to Spain to meet with an adviser to the Ukrainian president about a plan to investigate Joe Biden.
The trip was described in a whistleblowers complaint. Several former Giuliani colleagues said they believe it should appear in a future indictment.
Giulianis role in the scandal that has triggered an impeachment inquiry is still coming into focus. But several legal experts who used to work with the former U.S. attorney-turned New York City mayor-turned chief President Donald Trump defender told NBC News they believe his conduct likely broke the law.
"This is certainly not the Giuliani that I know," said Jeffrey Harris, who worked as Giulianis top assistant when he was at the Justice Department in the President Ronald Reagan administration. "I think the Giuliani that I know would prosecute the Giuliani of today."
Harris and the other former Justice Department lawyers said they believe Giuliani has potentially exposed himself to a range of offenses from breaking federal election laws to bribery to extortion through his efforts to assist the Ukrainians in probing Biden, Trumps top political opponent.
NBC News reached out to seven former colleagues of Giuliani's. Of the six who offered comments on or off the record, none defended him.
