Rudy Giuliani tried to replace ambassador to Qatar. AG Barr has warned Trump repeatedly he’s a problem. Louis Freeh has been subpoenaed over Romania work w/him. Rudy wanted to set up Trump-Maduro meeting. A dive w/@PostRoz, @thamburger & @DevlinBarrett: washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
We tried to explain Giuliani’s many foreign entanglements, how he unnerved White House aides with his behavior, how and why he morphed from America’s mayor into a gun for hire and how he blurred biz and gov’t lines. It’s long, but hope you give it a read. washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
Giuliani worked behind the scenes to replace the ambassador to Qatar with a Virginia congressman. His work in Romania is now under SDNY scrutiny. Bill Barr has told Trump, as recently as last month, to distance. He angered Bolton with his Venezuela moves. washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
Giuliani learned after being mayor how much money he could make in foreign countries. When he met Parnas & Fruman, longtime friends wondered why he brought them to events like a Sept. 11 dinner. They wondered why he was taking such clients. He had changed. washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
Reince Priebus told Rudy he had to stop lobbying Trump on Turkey. John Kelly moved Rudy to residence for meetings so he & staff could avoid, after hearing some calls. Bill Barr is telling Trump repeatedly Rudy is a problem. POTUS is inclined to keep him. washingtonpost.com/politics/insid…
