US President Donald Trump has reportedly refused to pay the
legal fees of Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer.
Guiliani was a key figure in Trump’s bid to overturn the
election victory of President-elect Joe Biden through the courts.
The lawyer instituted a number of cases across the US but
lost them.
According to the Washington Post, Giuliani charged the president $20,000 a day.
But the relationship between Trump and the lawyer started
waning after the failed bid to overturn Biden’s victory in the November poll.
“Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal
fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any
reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the
president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states,” the report
read.
“They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani’s moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election.”
The US president is also said to be frustrated and feeling
abandoned in his last days in office, according to some of his aides.
Some members of his staff have quit their jobs in response
to Trump’s refusal to concede the election, as well as the recent impeachment
of the president by the US house of representatives.
Trump is also reportedly annoyed that members of his inner
circle have failed to defend him after he was impeached the second time.
The US president was impeached on Wednesday by members of
the house of reps for over his alleged role in the Capitol Hill invasion.
The Capitol building — housing the US lawmakers — was
invaded by protesters, shortly after Trump addressed his supporters and asked
them to march to the house.
Five people were killed in the incident while many sustained injuries.
