Instead, he relied on his "apparently inebriated" personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani's counsel, she said. Giuliani recommended that Trump "just claim he won and ... falsely claim everything was fraudulent," she said.
Last June, an appeals court suspended Giuliani from practicing law in New York because he made false statements in a bid to get courts to overturn Trump’s defeat. His D.C. law license was also suspended.
Giuliani was responding to the dramatic hearing last Thursday by the House select committee exposing planning for the event and to overturn the election spearheaded by Trump that preceded the violence. Giuliani called the hearing an “embarrassment.”
In July 2019, Rudy Giuliani called me to dispute an Intelligencer piece that said he’d cursed during an appearance on Fox & Friends. The president’s personal lawyer insisted that he’d caught himself, merely uttering “bullsh–.”
On September 24, Politico shed some light on the curious lack of Giuliani commentary in the lead up to 9/11. He reportedly learned on the eve of the anniversary that he’s been secretly banned from the network for the last three months. Per Playbook:
At his annual 9/11 dinner, Giuliani gave a rambling speech in Manhattan during which he claimed he had turned down an offer of knighthood from Queen Elizabeth.

Who would’ve guessed that calling on a crowd of angry protesters to settle their grievances via “trial by combat” would have serious consequences? Not Rudy Giuliani!
Another lesson Giuliani is learning the hard way: Sometimes when you say a company was engaged in election-fraud conspiracy theories seemingly ripped from the TV show Scandal, the company hits back.
This summer Giuliani’s law license was temporarily suspended in New York and then D.C. over lies he told as part of his effort to steal the 2020 election for Trump, conduct that an appellate court said represented an “immediate threat” to the public.
When faced with serious legal trouble, it helps to have friends in high places. Unfortunately for Giuliani, his richest and most powerful friend is Donald Trump. Shortly after the raid on Giuliani’s home and office, the New York Times reported that his advisers were pressing the Trump team to help with his mounting legal fees.
Rudy Giuliani’s personal grooming habits are already the stuff of legend, but he topped himself on Sunday, August 22, when he was spotted shaving his face in the Delta One lounge at JFK airport.
