Rudy Giuliani

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, who was a central figure in two separate scandals that twice resulted in former President Donald Trump's impeachment, is reportedly being ignored as he begs his one-time boss for help.

The Daily Beast is reporting that Giuliani and his allies have been sending frantic pleas for help after the FBI raided the former New York mayor's apartment earlier this spring.

According to documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney, America's opioid crisis -- as bad as it continues to be -- was on the precipice of becoming much worse under the administration of former president Donald Trump.

Appearing on the Daily Beast's "The New Abnormal" podcast with host Molly Jong-Fast, the man behind the "Going Clear" expose of Scientology described what he discovered when looking into how Big Pharma helped create a massive addiction problem.

In the Trump era, the Republican Party underwent numerous changes that have shifted its ideologies and belief systems. Gone are the days when Republican lawmakers trained their focus on decreasing federal spending while placing an emphasis on traditional, conservative policy. Now, it appears former President Donald Trump's demands are being prioritized over the party's overall goals.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is a prime example of that, according to an editorial published by Flux. However, Republicans' current belief systems signal that she likely will not be the last casualty of this political war. Flux editor Matthew Sheffield highlights the rise of Republican lawmakers' fears of their own support base.

Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani tweeted out an endorsement of Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano -- but it quickly imploded after he badly misspelled the candidate's name.

In a tweet posted on Friday morning, Giuliani claimed that "Doug Mastrianni (sic) is the man to straighten out PA" and included a bizarre photoshopped image that featured Giuliani himself holding a Civil War-era saber.

Blundering right-wing activists and smear merchants Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman held a press conference at the Hyatt Centric in Arlington, Virginia, on Thursday, where they launched meritless allegations against Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Matt Gaetz, the embattled Florida Republican. Since both Gaetz and Giuliani face abundant legal difficulties in the real world, the fact that Wohl and Burkman had nothing to offer but spurious rumors was almost remarkable in itself. But that was not the duo's only largest problem. Now Burkman and Wohl have been banned from holding press events at the Arlington Hyatt, a hotel official told Salon.

The son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani went on Russian TV to push conspiracy theories about the federal investigation of his father.

Andrew Giuliani accused the American government of hacking his father's iCloud account (the feds reportedly gained access via a warrant).

During a Wednesday discussion about the new details from Republican tax collector Joel Greenberg, civil rights attorney Nancy Erika Smith explained that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has already proven to be "a lawyer's worst nightmare."

Speaking to MSNBC's Ari Melber, Smith explained that Greenberg must officially file his plea agreement, if there is one, by Saturday, May 15 or the trial moves forward. If there is a plea deal, she anticipates that things will get worse for Gaetz.

A former prosecutor believes there is a good indication former President Donald Trump will be facing consequences for his actions in the very near future.

According to HuffPost, Glenn Kirschner, who worked as a prosecutor for the District of Columbia's U.S. attorney's office for more than 20 years, recently weighed in on the investigation into the former president and a number of his close allies.

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani two years ago began pushing an anti-Biden dossier based on purported information he'd gathered from Ukrainian officials -- and now it may come back to haunt him legally.

The Daily Beast reports that prosecutors are looking into whether Giuliani's dossier was part of a paid lobbying campaign by the former New York City mayor done on behalf of former Ukrainian officials.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough lamented that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was being removed from her Republican Party leadership role simply because she refused to deny the obvious truth about President Joe Biden's election.

The "Morning Joe" host pointed to an op-ed he wrote for the Washington Post in February 2016, when he warned that Donald Trump would destroy the Republican Party nominated him for president -- and he said that now-corrupted GOP was on the verge of taking down U.S. democracy with its own downfall.

On his politics and law podcast Tuesday, former federal New York Prosecutor Preet Bharara questioned why Rudy Giuliani and his allies are begging for financial help as legal problems stack up. Giuliani's son Andrew Giuliani worked for former President Donald Trump as a special assistant, but that doesn't mean the family is close enough to score cash for their legal troubles.

In a discussion with former federal prosecutor Joyce White Vance, Bharara explained that in the entirety of his life, Trump has never been known to pay for anyone else, much less himself.
