Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow really doesn't want to talk about who's paying Rudy Giuliani
For all of the focus on corruption and foreign influence that lingers around the Senates impeachment trial of President Trump, theres a significant potentially overlapping question that remains unanswered: Whos paying Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trumps personal attorney?
In October, Giuliani told The Washington Post that he wasnt being paid by the president.
My other clients are paying me for the work I do for them, Giuliani said. Nobody is paying me for a single thing Im doing for Donald J. Trump.
Since Giuliani isnt an administration official, he doesnt need to reveal that information publicly so he doesnt. After his associates Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas were arrested that same month, Giuliani admitted that hed received $500,000 from the pair for his work representing them, money that originally came from a personal injury attorney on Long Island. (After his arrest, Parnas was accused by federal prosecutors of failing to report a separate $1 million payment hed received from a lawyer working for an oligarch named Dmitry Firtash.)
