Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani Is Joining Trump's Legal Team

Former New York City mayor and prosecutor Rudy Giuliani is joining President Donald Trump's legal team to help represent the president in the Russia investigation.

Giuliani, who is a fan of Trump, told The Washington Post: "I"m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller."

Trump's legal team has struggled to find additional lawyers and could use a new member. 

His former lead lawyer, John Dowd, resigned last month. And several top law firms have declined offers to represent the president. 

Giuliani worked as a prosecutor in the '80s. He was considered for a job in Trump's Cabinet but was ultimately passed over.
