CNN sources said they do not expect Giuliani to join Trump’s legal team because Trump has been advised against picking Giuliani. “The president is never going to have him in the Senate trial, starting with the problem that he’s a potential witness,” a source said.
Giuliani met with Ukranian officials to find incriminating information on Democratic candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden under Trump’s direction. U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland told the House of Representatives in the impeachment hearings that the president directed him and Giuliani to work together to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
Giuliani was also mentioned in the July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky that triggered the impeachment hearings. According to transcripts released by the White House, Trump told Zelensky, “I will ask him to call you, along with the attorney general. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy.”
