Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has been assisting Donald Trump in a slew of failed lawsuits against the results of the election, reportedly asked the Trump campaign for $20,000 a day for his legal work, according to TheNew York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Citing multiple people briefed on the matter, the Times reports that Giuliani has sought compensation for his work since the day after the election, when Trump began to dispute the results. It’s not clear if he has, or will be, compensated for his legal work. Giuliani told the Times that whoever suggested he asked for $20,000 a day “is a liar, a complete liar.” He added: “The arrangement is, we’ll work it out at the end.” The Journal reports that reps for Giuliani asked several Trump campaign officials to pay the exorbitant fee but no one agreed. Some Trump aides reportedly chafed at the request.
