Trump's Relationship With Rudolph Giuliani Has Reportedly Fractured

It seems Donald Trump and Rudolph Giuliani's relationship is on the rocks.
According to
The Washington Post, the president has become upset with his longtime friend and personal attorney as he approaches the end of his presidency and faces an impeachment trial. White House insiders claim Trump has told aides not to pay Giuliani's legal fees and wants to "personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred" during his failed attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election on POTUS' behalf.
The New York Times also spoke to an official who confirmed that Trump was offended by Giuliani reportedly seeking $20,000 a day for his work in overturning the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election. Another adviser claimed White House officials have started to block calls from Giuliani to Trump.

widely considered to be sorted and personal. clinton argued he was the victim of political persecution and polls showed a large majority of americans agreed perhaps not coincidentally the senate did not convict him. and so clinton stayed in the white house. polls now show the american electorate to be almost evenly divided on trump's impeachment and most analysts say the republican controlled senate is unlikely to convict him but if the polling numbers change dramatically that calculation may change. but i'm joined tonight by a gentleman who knows exactly what it's like to be in the middle of an impeachment for seating richard ben-veniste is a lawyer in washington d.c. he was one of the leading watergate prosecutors he joins me tonight from the u.s. capitol mr ben-veniste it's good to have you on the show i want to start by saying

the united states, as it appears from his own words, trump's own words that we've seen he did this. now it's up to other witnesses to fill in more information and that's indeed what we saw the ambassador do today and we have many others coming. and also the whole question of john bolton, the president's national security adviser, who heard that conversation with the president of ukraine. bolton is in a position and he apparently scurried and knew how damaging that conversation was. it all gets back to what the ambassador was also testifying about today. so there's a circle that is closing in, an evidentiary circle that's very damaging to the president of the united states and today that circle got tighter. >> richard, i'm wondering where you see where the investigation is so far. i mean, the president today not even saying or couldn't say

wondering what led you to that conclusion? >> i think motivating us, we're all in our 70s now, we've all had careers in the law is that there is no right to remain silent at a time when our constitution is being trashed. and it's being trashed because the fundamental precepts of our separation of power, of adhering to congressional oversight of the executive is fundamental and we can't lose that. if we lose that, we lose the essence of our democracy, and everything else will slip. i think as trained lawyers, and there are many, many throughout this country who understand our constitution, we don't have an organized religion that's official in this country. what we have is a constitution that everyone must abide by. >> richard ben-veniste and carl bernstein, i appreciate it. we have a lot more to learn about rudy giuliani's
