That’s an interesting choice, and likely a good one, not for Rudy’s legal ability per se, but because of his ability to bridge the gap between Trump and Mueller. Comey and Mueller both reportedly have some regard for Giuliani so it might help.
Via CNBC:
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is joining President Donald Trump’s personal legal team to help represent Trump in the special counsel’s investigation.
White House lawyer Ty Cobb confirmed the move to CNBC.
“I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller,” Giuliani told The Washington Post.
Giuliani is a close ally of the president’s and was a top Trump supporter on the campaign trail.
Last month, John Dowd resigned as the president’s top outside attorney representing himin the investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow.
Giuliani previously served as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Trump’s long-time lawyer Michael Cohen is currently under investigation by the Southern District.
