Rudy Giuliani Leaves Law Firm Amid Criticism of Hush Money Payments

HeadlineMay 11, 2018

The powerful law firm Greenberg Traurig said Thursday that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani no longer works there. Giuliani says he took a leave of absence from the law firm last month to join President Trump’s legal team in Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation. Partners at Greenberg Traurig were reportedly rankled by Giuliani’s recent comments on Fox News, in which he admitted that a $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels was “funneled” through Michael Cohen’s law firm before Trump personally repaid the funds. In a statement, the law firm’s communications chief Jill Perry said, “Speaking for ourselves, we would not condone payments of the nature alleged to have been made.”
