President Trump’s friend and lawyer Rudy Giuliani is threatening to sue Fox News host Steve Hilton for urging Trump to fire Rudy.
According to Mediaite:
Rudy Giuliani suggested that he might sue Fox News host Steve Hilton for recommending that President Donald Trump fire him.
I have not taken a penny for representing my friend, President Trump. I am outraged that @SteveHiltonx reported that I was trying to pursue private business deals in Ukraine to “enrich” myself, when in reality I have made ZERO in Ukraine! Very lazy reporting!

If it wasn’t for me, @SteveHiltonx wouldn’t even be covering Burisma. He sure didn’t cover it for the THREE YEARS it was in front of his face. He should apologize for his maliciousness and thank me for the story!

As Giuliani remains under scrutiny over his involvement in the effort to pressure the Ukrainian government into investigating Trump’s political foes, new reports have said that he pursued his own business deals in Ukraine. Hilton addressed this on Sunday on Fox show The Next Revolution, where he called Giuliani an “unethical disaster” and a “grifter.”
Calling out Fox News contributor John Solomon and others involved in the Ukraine story, Hilton also declared, “it’s time to dump these toxic chumps.”
It remains unclear what President Trump will do, but the inquiry into Rudy Giuliani does not appear to be ending soon which could pose a problem for the President.
