Trump Aims to End Mueller Probe with a Surprising Addition to Legal Team
By The Blaze. The Washington Post reported Thursday that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is joining President Trump’s legal team and he aims to negotiate an end to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigations into Russian election interference and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign . . .
Giuliani explained what his goal was to be on the team – to negotiate an end to the Mueller investigation.
“I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller,” Giuliani said to the Washington Post.
‘It is an honor to be a part of such an important legal team, and I look forward to not only working with the President but with Jay [Sekulow], Ty [Cobb], and their colleagues,” Giuliani added in a statement . . .
Giuliani was asked about whether he believed Trump should fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has authority over the special counsel investigations after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself.
