Giuliani says he is joining Trump's legal team to help bring Mueller probe to a conclusion
Rudy Giuliani says he has joined President Donald Trump's legal team and is taking a leave of absence from Greenberg Traurig to handle the job.
Jay Sekulow, Ty Cobb, and Andrew Ekonomou are now representing Trump in the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow.
Giuliani was a high-profile supporter of Trump, a fellow New Yorker, during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Giuliani told CNN his focus will be on interfacing with special counsel Robert Mueller in his Russian Federation probe and to help bring everything to a conclusion, saying it "needs a little push".
The final assembly the Trump workforce had with the particular counsel's workplace was on the identical day that Federal Bureau of Investigation brokers in NY raided the house, workplace, and resort of Trump's private legal professional Michael Cohen.
Giuliani said he made the decision in recent days after sharing a dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last week.
Giuliani, a 2008 Republican presidential candidate, was the associate USA attorney general and later the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of NY.
He also said he and the president spoke Thursday to discuss legal strategy going forward.
Cohen's office, home and hotel room were raided last week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, provoking a backlash from Trump in which he publicly weighed whether to fire Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

"I have had the privilege of working with Mayor Giuliani for many years, and we welcome his expertise", he said.
"I'm not involved in anything about those issues".
Until now, the resignation of John Dowd and the legal woes of Michael Cohen have left a hole in Trump's personal lawyer team that few seem willing to fill.
Many lawyers at top U.S. firms have declined offers to join the president's legal team, including prominent partners at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher and Winston & Strawn.
Giuliani said he would spend a "great deal of time" in Washington working with Trump, but would continue to live in NY.
Trump had tried to recruit at least two legal eagles in recent weeks - Emmet Flood and Theodore Olson - but both turned him down.
Giuliani was a rumored candidate to serve as Trump's Attorney General, but the job went to Sen.
Trump is known to be a hard client who does not listen to his attorneys' advice, according to lawyers who are familiar with his conduct.
