Donald Trump came to the defense of Rudy Giuliani on Saturday, only a day after saying he didn’t know if the former New York mayor was still his personal attorney and as pressure continued to mount in the impeachment inquiry linked to Giuliani’s work in Ukraine.
Giuliani “may seem a little rough around the edges”, Trump tweeted, “but he is also a great guy and wonderful lawyer”.
The president did not say Giuliani was still his personal attorney. The former mayor said on Friday he was.
Giuliani is under pressure over his extra-governmental role in Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, a potential opponent in the 2020 election, over unfounded allegations of corruption involving the former vice-president’s son.
Two Soviet-born US citizens, both associates of Giuliani, were arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of campaign finance violations, while trying to leave the US on one-way tickets.
On Friday, the New York Times reported that Giuliani himself was under federal investigation over his work on and in Ukraine.
