House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) apparently thinks President Donald Trump could do better than Rudy Giuliani in these trying times for the President.
During a press conference with House Republican leadership on Wednesday, a reporter asked McCarthy if Trump should keep Giuliani as his personal lawyer as the House impeachment inquiry continues to shed light upon Giuliani’s role in the President’s scheme to pressure a foreign government to damage his political rival.
“That’s a question for the President about being the lawyer,” McCarthy responded. “I think there would be other people I would have represent myself.”
For his part, Trump has stood by Giuliani despite the burgeoning scandal and the arrest of two of Giuliani’s associates (although he was vague about the lawyer’s standing last week).
Watch McCarthy make the comment below:
I suspect the pool of available legitimate lawyers is beginning to dwindle. Who is going to be willing to listen to the drivel of ridiculous defense options the President thinks he has and not want to bust out laughing in his face? Who’s going to want to jeopardize their hard-won credentials for this guy?
Good luck to you.
Giuliani is exactly the type of lawyer Trump deserves. He’s what happens when your so toxic that other lawyers won’t represent you.
So is this McCarthy revealing that the GOP is done with Guiliani, or is this McCarthy just blurting out whatever bubbles up inside him again?
Given you’re in the list who received campaign donations you just may want to lawyer up yourself there Kev ol’ pal
