Trump needs to find another lawyer after Giuliani backs out

“Because I gave an earlier speech [at the rally], I am a witness and therefore unable to participate in court or in the Senate chamber,” Giuliani told ABC News.

In a statement to The Hill, Giuliani explained that “Due to the fact that I may be a witness, the rules of legal ethics would prohibit me from representing the President as trial counsel in the impeachment trial.”


Giuliani’s decision comes after a weekend of a lot of back-and-forths between Trump, Giuliani, and Trump’s defense team. Giuliani, forever a true believer in Trump’s allegations of voter fraud and the election being stolen from him, wanted to raise the allegations in his defense of Trump before the Senate.

However, Trump’s team has other ideas, and Giuliani is not included in those plans. A longtime Republican consultant – Karl Rove said over the weekend that Trump was more likely to be convicted at a Senate trial if Giuliani defended him.


After the fox interview, as seen above, Trump reportedly began telling everyone around him that Giuliani would not be representing him, according to Slate.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend Karen Graham, who served as Editor-at-Large at Digital Journal. She was 78 years old. Karen's view of what is happening in our world was colored by her love of history and how the past influences events taking place today. Her belief in humankind's part in the care of the planet and our environment has led her to focus on the need for action in dealing with climate change. It was said by Geoffrey C. Ward, "Journalism is merely history's first draft." Everyone who writes about what is happening today is indeed, writing a small part of our history.
