.MaddowBlog: After saying he didn’t need one, Pres. Trump’s lawyer hires a lawyer.
Close video The Rachel Maddow Show, 11/6/19, 9:05 PM ET Trump lawyer's lawyer now also Trump's other lawyer's lawyer Rachel Maddow points out that one of the defense lawyers who advised Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen before he was sent to prison is Robert Costello, who has not been hired by another of Trump’s personal lawyers, Rudy Giuliani.
President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, said on Wednesday that he had assembled a legal team to represent him in the criminal investigation into his activities related to Ukraine, an announcement that came after weeks of sputtered attempts to find a lawyer willing to take him on as a client.
Cohen, of course, is currently a federal prison inmate, in part because of his role in Trump’s hush-money scandal involving payoffs to Trump’s alleged former mistresses. Giuliani hasn’t been charged, at least not yet. That said, Giuliani’s newly assembled legal defense team will apparently be kept busy. Yesterday, the former mayor published a tweet in which he declared, “The investigation I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges, that kept changing as one after another were disproven.”
