On ABC News, Giuliani Vows To Defy House Subpoena

President Donald Trump has been encouraging fellow Republicans to defy subpoenas they receive from House Democrats. And on Tuesday, Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told ABC News that he refusing to comply with a House subpoena.

The former New York City mayor told ABC News, “if they enforce it, then we will see what happens.”

He also told ABC News that Jon Sale, who had been representing him, is no longer his attorney. On Tuesday, before his role as Giuliani’s attorney ended, Sale sent a letter to Congress replying to the subpoena Giuliani received.

The former mayor has been a key figure in House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against Trump, and the subpoena came from three Democrat-led committees: the House Oversight Committee, the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee.

In a letter sent to Giuliani last month, the chairmen of those committees wrote, “Growing public record indicates that the president, his agent Rudy Giuliani, and others appear to have pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politically-motivated investigations. The committees have reason to believe that you have information and documents relevant to these matters.”

Giuliani has been a staunch defender of Trump throughout the Ukraine scandal, insisting that Trump did nothing wrong during his July 25 conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that it is possible in this great big world of ours to live a comfortable life being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for doing basically nothing. Well, not nothing, exactly, but the money you get is unattached to normal stuff we are all familiar with like a job, complete with job-related duties and office hours and a W-2 and maybe even a job title. The money can thus be described by what it is not, which is aboveboard and visible. Instead, this kind of money often ends up in the kinds of accounts said to be “controlled” by you or others, which is to say, accounts which may not, and often do not, have your name on them.
