Giuliani says he's working on Trump's impeachment defense, would argue voter fraud claims

President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani tells ABC News he's working as part of the president's defense team in his upcoming second impeachment trial -- and that he's prepared to argue that the president's claims of widespread voter fraud did not constitute incitement to violence because the widely-debunked claims are true.

"I'm involved right now … that's what I'm working on," Giuliani told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl.

A few hours later, Giuliani -- who led the president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results -- was spotted at the White House.

Giuliani's involvement in Trump's impeachment defense comes as many of the lawyers involved in the president's first impeachment, including White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputies and outside lawyers Jay Sekulow and Jane and Marty Raskin, do not plan to return for the second trial.

8. Good luck getting paid, LOL

[Septua]

9. Voter fraud on the brain

60 f'n court cases on election fraud thrown out and that's still all the fools can think about.

10. ...Way to go Matlock

If what Trump says about fraud is true, it's ok to get people to storm the Capital and kill people?
No one thinks it's ok, but what if Rudy can't prove it's true?

11. He's not not being paid enough

Instead of not being paid $20K a day, he should not be getting paid at least $25K.

12. That Is A Strang Defense

I'm sure he will bring up all of the debunked claims that have been rejected every time they were brought up in Court because they provided no supporting evidence. But even if the debunked claims had merit it would not be a defense for the riot that left 6 people dead. All of the criminal charges would be unchanged. And it hardly addresses that impeachment charge of inciting insurrection - which is second only to treason in seriousness. Indeed, I would hope that the Chief Justice would step in and challenge the relevance of the defense. Where do they go then? There is no exculpatory evidence to clear Trump. If it wasn't Trump that incited the riot, who was it? Duh!

13. If that's the case

Trump is fucked.

[Grokenstein]

14. Please, proceed.

Excuse me while I invest in popcorn sales.

15. The Same crock of shit he spent the last several months doing...

[sakabatou]

16. *facepalm*

[alphafemale]

17. He knows he's not getting paid, right? NT

[intrepidity]

24. That may be the reason for the crappy defense?

Nah, just kidding! His work is the same whether he is psid or not: crappy.

18. In the Senate, the vote was 93-6 for one state confirming election as fair.

The vote to convict won't be nearly that much, but this defense will associate a vote to acquit with belief in the lie. So far there is no Congressional penalty for furthering the stolen election narrative, but there is one from corporate donors already in place.

19. All this would do is serve as a crack fix for their addicted base

by re-litigating and repeating the false claims in front of the CSPAN cameras, which will ensure it gets broadcast around the world.

[EarthFirst]

20. He's stuck with an attorney who is currently 1-61-0 on client litigation...

However he has no place else to turn.

Good luck with those odds; Donny boy...

[Nitram]

21. That's GREAT news!The best of Dump's "best people."

[LiberalLovinLug]

22. For free?

[apnu]

23. Is he doing this pro-bono? Trump cut him out of the check book. (nt)

[gldstwmn]

25. No one will do it for free.
