LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/RUDY GIULIANI/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump’s new attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told CNN on Thursday [5-10-18] that Trump ‘wasn’t aware’ his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen pitched his access to the President to potential clients following the 2016 election and landed lucrative consulting deals as a result…One Republican strategist described Cohen’s pitch as follows: ‘I don’t know who’s been representing you, but you should fire them all. I’m the guy you should hire. I’m closest to the President. I’m his personal lawyer.’ CNN reported on Wednesday [5-9-18] that after Trump won the White House, Cohen highlighted his proximity to the President as a selling point to potential clients.”
