WASHINGTON (AP) — Rudy Giuliani is leaving his Manhattan law firm to focus solely on his new role on President Donald Trump’s legal team.
The former New York City mayor originally planned simply to take a leave of absence from the law firm of GreenbergTraurig when he joined Trump’s outside team last month.
But the law firm released a statement Thursday announcing that the parting would be permanent.
Giuliani said that he was stepping away “in light of the pressing demands of the Mueller investigation” into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The ex-mayor said that his “sole concentration can be on this critically important matter for our country.”
Giuliani has become a lightning rod during his tenure on Trump’s team, drawing the president’s ire for a series of scattershot interviews.
Yeah, and when Trump fires him next week, there is at least one bench in Central Park reserved with his name on it. I am sure the pigeons will appreciate him much more than the Donald ever did.
Saving Private Lyin’.
After all of his performances on TV at best changing the entire defense strategy on the fly it’s hard to imagine serious clients who would want him overseeing anything.
Completely unrelated other than also being strange like Rudy and Trump that are monopolizing the news…monopolies on the US
