  • I suppose I should not laugh but...


    It is amusing to see them fighting among themselves. It's like kindergarten children getting fractious with one another after a party. The only thing Trump and Rudy are not doing - yet - is being sick from too much ice cream and cake.

    Trump 'refusing to pay' Rudy Giuliani's legal fees after falling out

    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.

    Commenting on the report, Ken Frydman, who worked as Giuliani’s press secretary in the 1990s, said: “Lay down with dogs. Wake up with fleas and without $20,000 a day”.

    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.

    Those who have reportedly failed to step up include Trump’s press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, his son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, and his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, responsible for indulging Trump’s belief that the election was rigged.

    “The president is pretty wound up,” one senior administration official told the Post. “No one is out there.”

    Trump’s refusal to pay Giuliani’s bills is another blow to the former federal prosecutor. Giuliani is already under fire for his own alleged role in inciting Trump supporters to storm the Capitol building



    Perhaps Rudy can ask Sasha Baron Cohen for a small fee for appearing in his movie.

    More anonymous sources.

    A "senior administration official" says.

    Once upon a time one might argue these people were afraid of losing their jobs, but that isn't a legitimate excuse anymore. In fact, it seems one has a better shot at a new job if they turn on Trump, perhaps MSNBC will hire them as a political analyst.

      Trump refusing to pay someone for services rendered? And he has a history of doing this with various contractors over the years? I don't believe a word of it.

          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            It put me in mind of one of those "when thieves fall out" incidents which, in light of the events of the past few weeks, is rather amusing.

            Or perhaps this!
