TRUMP ADVISERS URGE PRESIDENT TO BENCH RUDY GIULIANI, BAR LAWYER FROM APPEARING ON TV AFTER DRINKING
By Shane Croucher On Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - 04:22
President Donald Trump's advisers are reportedly urging him to bench his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and prevent him from making televised appearances following his hapless performances of late.
According to Associated Press, citing sources in and close to the White House, Trump is irritated by Giuliani’s recent mistakes, involving bombshell statements rapidly followed by confusing backtracking. The president reportedly thinks they distracted from what he views as vindication after an explosive BuzzFeed report was later brought into question.
The ordeal has caused some of Trump’s advisers to urge the president to pull Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, from television appearances, though there is not a push for the lawyer to be fired, the AP reported.
Moreover, Republicans close to the White House told the AP they believe Giuliani may be appearing on TV after drinking alcohol, so he should be banned from evening appearances on news shows.
The White House and Giuliani did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
