NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani, once known as “America’s Mayor” and hailed for helping unite a wounded city after Sept. 11, has become the aggressive face of President Donald Trump’s forceful new legal team. That means the whole investigation was totally unnecessary.”Giuliani has quickly become the dominant figure on the president’s reshuffled legal team as Trump stocks his political inner circle with familiar, TV-ready faces. Giuliani has warned Trump that he fears that the president’s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, may flip on him. But he argued that it removed legal peril over a possible campaign finance violation, a claim some legal experts have questioned. In the weeks before he hired Giuliani last month, Trump had grown increasingly frustrated with the cable news chatter that he couldn’t hire a big-name attorney for his legal team.
