Rudy Giuliani is trying to raise money from his appearance before the House committee investigating last year’s riot at the Capitol as well as his connection to former President Donald Trump by asserting he invoked attorney-client privilege to refuse to answer some questions.
In an emailed appeal for his defense fund, the former mayor of New York and one-time U.S. Attorney said he is being unfairly targeted by the committee for defending Trump as his lawyer.
“They’d love nothing more than to take down the lawyer who successfully defended President Trump from endless witch hunts — especially when other lawyers were too afraid to go forward,” the fundraising pitch says.
