Rudy Giuliani in Talks to Join Trump's Legal Team
Source: Daily Beast
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been in talks to join the President Donald Trumps personal legal team, according to a person familiar with the matter. No decision is currently final.
A slew of foreign policy matters which Trump has had to deal with has slowed the process of expanding the president's legal team, according the person familiar with the matter. Trumps time has been absorbed by North Korea and Syria, which has limited his availability to speak with potential new members of his legal team.
Giuliani did not immediately return a request for comment. But he is a close ally of the president, having campaigned closely with him during the 2016 election. Giuliani gave an impassioned speech in favor of Trump at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
What I did for New York City, Donald Trump will do for America, he said at the convention. I have known Donald Trump for almost 30 years. And he has created and accomplished great things. But beyond that this is a man with a big heart. Every time New York City suffered a tragedy, Donald Trump was there to help.

(64 posts)...back before Giuliani's term and through it, I wouldn't be surprised if he is complicit with some of the stuff that was going on.

(9,186 posts)because Trump views a layers invoice as the opening of negotiations.
I guess it's different if fees are being paid by campaign contributions.

There is a good chance he is complicit in Trump-Russia.
