That President Trump knew about hush money paid to a porn star isn't the only shocking thing his new lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, acknowledged Wednesday. Giuliani also said that the reason Trump fired James B. Comey as FBI director was essentially because Comey wouldn't do his bidding in the Russia investigation. “He fired Comey because Comey would not, among other things, say that he wasn’t a target of the investigation,” Giuliani told Fox News's Sean Hannity. Giuliani seemed to have no problem acknowledging why Trump fired Comey, because he clearly thinks Comey was in the wrong. The Comey firing really was the first major division between a significant number of Republicans and the president.
