“The president has been complaining to aides and allies about his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and recently-removed lawyer Sidney Powell’s over-the-top performances at a news conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters last week, these people said. Both Giuliani and Powell have continued to make conspiratorial and baseless claims about widespread voter fraud, for which they have provided no evidence. The president is concerned his team is comprised of ‘fools that are making him look bad,’ said one source familiar with the thinking. Asked why he would not fire them, this person replied, in essence, who knows?” reports NBC News.
“The president grew less impressed with Powell over the weekend, as she continued to make outlandish comments, including falsely accusing Georgia’s Republican governor and its secretary of state of being part of a scheme to alter votes. Trump was also not pleased with the optics of the brown substance, presumed to be hair dye or a makeup product, dripping down Giuliani’s face during the nearly two-hour news conference Thursday, according to one of the sources familiar with the president’s reaction. Outside allies are also irritated about how disorganized and haphazard the legal strategy has appeared, and they have conveyed that to the White House, according to several people close to the president.”
