Giuliani's cooperation with January 6 committee in jeopardy, lawyer says
CNN
An attorney for Rudy Giuliani said on Thursday he's concerned the House select committee investigating January 6 won't respect his client's privilege claims after the panel asked a judge to waive attorney-client privilege in the case of another Trump lawyer.
That concern makes the possibility of Giuliani cooperating with the committee's investigation even more remote. There had been ongoing negotiations between Giuliani's legal team and the committee, but no formal cooperation agreement has been reached.
The committee argued in an explosive court filing on Wednesday night that right-wing lawyer John Eastman's privilege claims should be waived because he and former President Donald Trump engaged in a "criminal conspiracy" to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
