Giuliani’s addition to the legal team fulfills his long-delayed hope for a White House job. A number of Trump allies have believed that Trump has been ill-served by his current legal team and applauded the addition of the hard-charging Giuliani. One person close to the White House expressed surprise that Giuliani would accept a job under such challenging conditions. Trump personal attorney Jay Sekulow told The Associated Press that Giuliani will be focusing on the Mueller investigation — not the legal matters raised by the ongoing investigation into Trump attorney Michael Cohen. He also intensified his public criticism of the Mueller investigation, calling it “an attack on our country.”Giuliani’s addition to the Trump legal team puts a renewed spotlight on his past legal and consulting work.
