Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who has become one of President Donald Trump’s personal attorneys, abruptly resigned from his law firm following a string of unhinged media appearances. Giuliani and the firm, Greenberg Traurig, released a joint statement on Thursday saying that the resignation was effective a day earlier. Cohen, another personal lawyer to the president, admitted in February to making the payment, but denied Trump knew about it. Giuliani, however, told Fox News that Trump not only knew about the payment, but reimbursed Cohen. Giuliani later backpedaled after Trump said Giuliani didn’t have “his facts straight.”
