Trump tells reporters he doesn't know if Giuliani is still his attorney

Trump told reporters Friday that he didn’t know whether Giuliani was still his personal attorney, adding that the two hadn’t spoken since Thursday.

“Well, I don’t know,” Trump said, responding to a question about the lawyer as he prepared to leave the White House for a rally in Louisiana. “I haven’t spoken to Rudy. I spoke to him yesterday briefly. He’s a very good attorney, and he has been my attorney.”

Trump then added, “Yeah, sure,” before moving on to another question.

In a text message to The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey shortly after the president’s comments, Giuliani confirmed that he’s still representing Trump.

“Yes,” Giuliani wrote. “I am still his attorney.”

& the priv. has to be something between only you & your lawyer. There's no priv. when a lawyer flies around the world publicly announcing where you're going and why. On top of that, the client can't publicly state that you were going per his request!

People don't seem to understand that not everything discussed with your lawyer in privileged!
