Giuliani struggles to help Trump with his defense
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's new attorney, Rudy Giuliani is trying hard to support his client's stance on legal challenges coming from investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and a $130,000 hush payment to a porn actress," but he is off to a rough start.
The former New York City mayor is delivering confounding and at times contradictory statements as he mounts Trump's defense through the media in a bewildering display that has even the president's allies concerned. Giuliani's aggressive defense of the president in recent weeks has pleased Trump, but exasperated White House aides and attorneys.
Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor who has informally counseled the president, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that recent developments are aiding the efforts of special counsel Robert Mueller.
"It seems to me that the approach last week of the Trump team plays into the hands of Mueller's tactic to try, at any cost, to try to find technical violations against lower-ranking people so that they can be squeezed," said Dershowitz."
