The president’s personal lawyer has been digging up dirt for him in Ukraine. Now Congress wants to know: who picked up the tab?
A member of the House Intelligence Committee is calling on Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to disclose information on who financed his attempts to dig up dirt on Joe Biden amid a wave of reports that the work has dovetailed into official government business.
Reports indicate Rudy represents the president pro bono, meaning he receives no money for travel or the meetings he holds. He claims his expenses are paid by clients of his law firm.
In an interview with The Daily Beast this week, Giuliani steadfastly denied that he was paid for any work he did in Ukraine, saying that he helped Trump on a “pro bono” basis. He said that the costs of his travel were covered by private clients for separate work that happened to correspond with his Ukraine portfolio. Speaking specifically about an August trip he made to Madrid to urge Andriy Yermak, a top Ukrainian official, to reinvestigate the Bidens, Giuliani said that he happened to be going to the Spanish capital already for “business and vacation.”
And he’s digging up dirt the Dims have done their best to keep buried.
