Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has joined President Trump’s legal team. 

Giuliani told the Washington Post on Thursday that he finalized the decision in recent days, and wants to help the president “negotiate an end” to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, which Trump has referred to as a “hoax.”

“I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller,” Giuliani said. 

The news comes soon after reports that Trump had been struggling to find attorneys to join his legal team after attorney John Dowd’s departure last month.
