President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani says he plans to depart that role after he finishes “clean up†from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
The former New York City mayor, who once led the federal prosecutors office in Manhattan, has been a key Trump spokesman and strategist since joining his legal team in April 2018 after Trump struggled to attract other legal talent, in part due to legal conflicts on the part of the attorneys.
But Giuliani has been working for free and has other projects crammed into a “pretty busy†schedule.
Giuliani told the Washington Examiner he’s working on legal issues on Trump’s behalf before the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York and the New York attorney general’s office, where prosecutors are reviewing evidence generated by Mueller.
As with the Mueller probe, Giuliani believes there would be a point where it becomes clear that non-congressional legal fallout is over.
When that happens, he intends to end his representation of Trump, saying he would “probably not†remain his personal attorney. If asked by Trump to continue, however, he said it’s possible he would remain. “Depends on if I’m needed,†he said.
