Giuliani Denies New Reporting That Trump Is Unhappy with His Performance
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has said a lot of things in the past week, some of which have caused a bit of a mess for President Trump.
So it’s perhaps not a surprise that Politico is reporting tonight that the President is getting a bit frustrated with Giuliani:
The president has been griping to associates that Rudy Giuliani, his new personal attorney, has failed to shut down the Stormy Daniels hush money saga. And he has expressed frustration that Giuliani’s media appearances are raising more questions than they are answering, turning the story into a days-long drama capped by the admission Sunday that the president may have made similar payments to other women.
For now, White House aides said, Giuliani still has a direct line in to Trump – the two speak almost daily – and nobody in the West Wing is eager to insert themselves between the two irascible New Yorkers by yanking Giuliani off TV. But some aides said they expect the president to fire Giuliani if his behavior doesn’t change.
Giuliani set off a lot of news with just his pronouncements in the last week. Today State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert reacted to his foreign policy comments by pointing out that Rudy Giuliani does not speak for the United States.
Giuliani tells Politico that the President, however, is not unhappy with him, saying, “If I’m not up to it, I don’t know who is. I know the Justice Department better than just about anyone.”
