Rudy Giuliani's son: I'm not concerned my father will be charged


(CNN)Allies of Rudy Giuliani continue to call on former President Donald Trump and Republicans to pay for his efforts around the election and, in turn, subsidize the mounting legal bills facing the former New York City mayor.

Trump was recently informed directly by Giuliani associates of the increasing debts incurred by his onetime personal lawyer, one source told CNN. Giuliani's attorney, Robert Costello, also raised the issue in recent days with lawyers for Trump. Asked if the former President's legal team was responsive, Costello replied, "No comment."


A person familiar with the matter said Trump's team has not decided whether to get involved in the search warrant review that is being conducted to ensure privileged information seized in the recent raid of Giuliani's apartment and office is kept from investigators.

One of the most vocal is Giuliani's son Andrew, who worked in the Trump White House and told CNN,"The nut may crack in the next 36 hours." He called on Trump to "take the lead on this one," adding: "He can be the hero."

"Once President Trump actually understands that his lead counsel was not indemnified, he's going to resolve this very quickly," Andrew Giuliani said on Wednesday..........................

beg rudy beg!

[soothsayer]

1. "The nut may crack in the next 36 hours."

Does he mean his dad?

[marble falls]

2. He was threatening DJT.

[soothsayer]

7. Yes, by calling his dad a nut inadvertently

Made me giggle

[marble falls]

9. He was telling Trump if his dad deoesn't get some relief, he'll crack and talk. You haven't ...

... hung around enough lawyers and hard-ball politicos.

So enjoy it, my friend. I've heard serious threats before and that was a serious threat.

[soothsayer]

10. Totally understood from the beginning. Pretty flat footed threat there.

But he still calls his dad a nut and it still amuses me.

Bad timing for Rudy to be shrinking his entourage. He might be about to go through some things....

Or, Don could play the pocket pardon card — offer to lie that he granted Rudy a secret pardon.

Should be interesting.

[Blue Owl]

12. So that's the big kraken they've been warning about?

[MLAA]

3. Rudy the beg bug!

[stillcool]

4. That doesn't sound good...

for Rudy. What happened to his insurance?

[riversedge]

6. Trump?? Rudy was a fool to trust him.

[stillcool]

8. I would think there was some...

"mutually assured destruction" considering how far back they go. Guess Trump is sure nothing is going to touch him.

[AKing]

5. Yeah,the guy who perfected the art of the stiff is going to pay someone else's legal bills...

[soothsayer]

11. He's going to get Mexico to pay them!

[cinematicdiversions]

19. He might have to flee to Mexico if he doesn't pay them. NT

[ananda]

13. Pay up or else!

i wonder if Rudy has stuff on Trump
and he'll flip and tell if Trump doesn't
pay up.

[rurallib]

14. oh boy something to watch this weekend

[Aussie105]

15. Giuliani's son Andrew says:

Come on Donald, my dad has done so much for you, you owe him big time.
Be a hero, cough up some legal bills type cash!

Trump's response? Crickets!

Little does Andrew realize, Trump doesn't owe anyone anything, that's not his style.
Strictly one way traffic, the whole world owes Donald!

Hopefully, Rudy and Donald will throw each under under the bus at the same time.

[C Moon]

16. "The nut may crack?" He's admitting there's something to be uncovered.

[pnwmom]

17. The orange one isn't "President Trump" anymore. He can't fix this, Giulianis. nt

[Marcuse]

18. "Rudy? He had a small part in my campaign.He never worked in the White House."
