Rudy Giuliani no longer represents Donald Trump "in any legal matter"

 Donald Trump's senior adviser, Jason Miller, has assured that Rudy Giuliani remains an "ally and friend" and that "there are simply no pending cases in which he represents the former president."


One of the most heard names and one of the most seen faces during Donald Trump's term in the United States has been that of Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani has been one of his loyal supporters, an indisputable defender and clinging to the tycoon's policies from day one. Up to now.

This Tuesday, the US network 'CNN' assured that Giuliani, also a personal lawyer for the former president, no longer represents the New Yorker "in any legal matter," according to Trump's senior adviser, Jason Miller.

Gilliani was in charge of directing the attempts to annul the results of the last presidential elections, held on November 3, attempts that came to nothing when the victory of Democrat Joe Biden was finally validated.

The news came on Tuesday after the information from the network and the subsequent publication of a Twitter message from Miller. In his text, the magnate's adviser tried to remove iron from an issue that has made headlines for weeks: the discrepancies between Trump and Giuliani after the second impeachment.


Rudy Giuliani, "ally and friend"

The advisor assures that the one who was also mayor of New York is still an "ally and a friend", but that if he no longer represents the former US president, it is simply because there are no pending cases in which he is involved and Giuliani must defend.

"There are simply no pending cases in which Mayor Giuliani represents the president. The mayor remains an ally and a friend," Miller's message reads.


Failure to pay Giuliani legal fees

In fact, as reported by the chain, the ex-president urged his staff to stop paying Giuliani's legal fees, although, apparently, his assistants were not clear if the tycoon was serious with those instructions .

Although Miller assures that Giuliani no longer has pending cases in which to defend Trump, the truth is that the Republican today faces several criminal investigations, civil state and defamation lawsuits.

Trump will face a criminal investigation for his attempts to interfere in Georgia's election results.

Also, he deals with them in a very different way than he did a few weeks ago. At that time, he had the privilege of being president of the United States, for which he had to be tried through impeachment by the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Now, Trump no longer has such a concession, so the situation is not the same.


Attempted interference in Georgia

Among other issues, Trump must face a criminal investigation for his attempts to interfere in the election results of the state of Georgia.

On January 4, The Washington Post newspaper revealed that the former president pressured Georgia's highest electoral authority, also Republican Brad Raffensperger, to manipulate the election results.

"The people of Georgia are angry, the people of the country are angry (...) And there is nothing wrong in saying, you know? I think your calculations have failed you," he said on the call.

"Look, what I want is for you to look for the 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won that state," he added, in addition to threatening to file criminal charges against him.
