The former New York City mayor may have crossed a line as Trump's attorney.
Watergate “master manipulator” John Dean, who served as White House counsel to President Richard M. Nixon, has a stark warning for an attorney serving another president.
Dean said former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, personal attorney for President Donald Trump, has crossed a line. Dean, who ultimately turned on Nixon and helped to bring him down, said Giuliani was no longer a lawyer, but a co-conspirator. And he hinted Giuliani could face legal trouble of his own as a result:
Giuliani is not Trump’s private lawyer rather Rudy is a lawyer who has become Trump’s coconspirator. They’re using the attorney-client privilege to hide criminal behavior but it can’t be used for that purpose! Sad day that lawyers back at core of scandal!Giuliani has made headlines in recent days over a wild series of media appearances in which he alternately denied and admitted asking Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden on behalf of Trump.
Earlier this week, Giuliani claimed the State Department called and asked for his help with Ukraine. The State Department has denied that, and described Giuliani as a “private citizen” who does not speak on behalf of the U.S. government.This article originally appeared on HuffPost.
