TRUMP-LAWYER-PAY
Trump told aides not to pay his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani because he’s upset with him
NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2021(BSS) – US President Donald Trump is now upset with personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and has instructed aides not to pay him his legal fees, The Washington Post reported and The New York Times confirmed.
Trump was impeached for the second time on Wednesday. The House of Representatives brought forth an article of impeachment for “incitement of insurrection”; it was approved 232-205 with ten Republicans voting in favor of impeaching the president.
The charge is for Trump’s role in inciting an attempted coup at the US Capitol last week that left five people dead. It now heads to the Senate for trial.
According to The Post and The Times, Trump has become increasingly isolated – cutting out some aides, while others leave the emptying White House in the last week of the Trump administration.
Giuliani is one of those confidants whose relationship with the president has become frayed.
The New York Times reported that White House officials started blocking Giuliani’s calls to Trump, and according to The Post, Trump told aides not to pay him.
