Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, needs help paying his legal bills.
According to a report from The New York Times, Giuliani’s advisers have asked Trump to help.
Last week, federal prosecutors executed a search warrant at Giuliani’s home and office. The lawyer is being investigated for his ties to Ukraine. The government wants to know whether he illegally lobbied the Trump administration on behalf of Ukrainian oligarchs. Giuliani insists that he did not do anything wrong.
The Times reported that Giuliani was never paid for the work he did after the election. His allies want Trump to use some of the funds that were raised after the election to help Giuliani pay down his debts.
Giuliani is also the subject of defamation lawsuits by two voting machine companies, Dominion and Smartmatic.
