Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal attorney at the center of an alleged pressure campaign to enlist Ukraine's help in investigating the president's political rivals, has hired ex-Watergate prosecutor Jon Sale to represent him in the House's impeachment proceedings, reports Fox News.
Giulaini was subpoenaed Monday by the three committees in the House of Representatives investigating Trump's interactions with the Ukrainian government.
"Our inquiry includes an investigation of credible allegations that you acted as an agent of the president in a scheme to advance his personal political interests by abusing the power of the office of the president," three Democratic House chairmen wrote in a letter to Giuliani, who has served as the president's personal representative in Ukraine.
"What I've already learned is this is very complex," Sale told CNN when asked if Giuliani planned to comply. "I really have to study it. I can't shoot from the hip."
"Every time I turn around, Rudy's on another TV show," Sale continued. "He and I could have a conversation, and then I turn on the television and he could be doing something else."
Sale served as an Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor.
Giuliani has admitted to being "in possession of evidence — in the form of text messages, phone records, and other communications — indicating that you were not acting alone and that other Trump administration officials may have been involved in this scheme."
