Donald Trump has fallen out with his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and is refusing to pay the former New York mayor’s legal bills, it was reported, with the president feeling abandoned and frustrated during his last days in office.
Giuliani played a key role in Trump’s failed attempts to overturn the results of November’s presidential election through the courts. The lawyer mounted numerous spurious legal challenges, travelling to swing states won by Joe Biden, and spread false claims the vote was rigged.
According to the Washington Post, relations between Trump and Giuliani have dramatically cooled. Trump has instructed his aides not to pay Giuliani’s outstanding fees. The president is reportedly offended by Giuliani’s demand for $20,000 a day – a figure the lawyer denies, but which is apparently in writing. White House officials have even been told not to put through any of Giuliani’s calls.
The apparent breach with Giuliani – one of Trump’s most loyal and sycophantic supporters – has contributed to the president’s sense of isolation and betrayal, aides have suggested.
Trump is reportedly unhappy that members of his inner circle have failed to defend him following last week’s deadly attack on the US Capitol by a mob of his supporters. Many have been silent following Wednesday’s vote in the House of Representatives to impeach Trump for a second time.

garbage
He did need better lawyers though
They focused on too much hockus pockus and not on the laws that the states broke
That was the win here
Let’s just say that all news is fake news since all news is now via anonymous sources.
FAKE NEWS They want to make Trump look like Nixon in his last days!
The source is the Wash Post. The Wash Post has produced thousands of untrue stories over the last four years, many about supposed divisions within the Trump Administration. Like someone said above, just assume all news is fake news for now.
BS...and, it would be the campaign and RNC paying Rudy, for election fraud time charges, not PDJT personally.
Garbage is right.
These ppl are so stupid.
Reality is more likely this is just Trump’s normal negotiating over the bill. He is refusing to pay full retail, which he almost never does.
I’m sure that this is a deeply provocative and well-thought out piece of reporting, but unfortunately . . . all I need to see is “The Guardian via MSN” to know that it isn’t for me.
My understanding is, that after Bush v Gore neither side paid their attorney fees. My guess is, they got compensated some other way, possibly by a tax write-off.

It was said that none of the management of the big firms would touch anything DJT, fearing the loss of existing and future clients and later political retribution.
He has the same problem with his Trump organization now - legal and management firms pulled out.
Rudy Giuliani has a radio show in NY e everyday on 770 AM WABC. I’ll wait for his take on this rather than depend on some “Anonymous source” from the Washington Post.
They’re just making it up now. Stepping away from propaganda. Rudy did his job.
MSN. Fake News.
Not true- you should have watched the hearings that Rudy held, then you would know
I’d say based on Rudy’s “performance” he doesn’t deserve a single dime.
