Daily Beast: “After raising a paltry sum of money from supporters and attracting little interest from former President Donald Trump, a web page created to fundraise for Rudy Giuliani’s legal defense fund has vanished. According to a cached version of that webpage, the sluggish fundraising vehicle was taken offline at some point between Wednesday morning and Thursday. As of early Thursday evening, the ‘Rudy Giuliani Legal Defense Fund’ page had yet to return. Bernie Kerik, another Trump loyalist and a close Giuliani associate who is spearheading the former New York mayor’s fundraising efforts, did not immediately respond to questions from The Daily Beast. On Thursday evening, Giuliani’s lawyer Robert Costello said he had ‘no knowledge’ on the matter.”

“Some of Giuliani’s closest allies and confidants have not been shy about attacking other conservative leaders for refusing to swoop in during the attorney’s time of need. In early May, Kerik complained on Twitter that ‘lawyers and law firms that didn’t do shit [for the Trump campaign’s legal team] were paid lots of money and the people that worked their ass off, got nothing.’ On Thursday, Kerik tweeted that Giuliani ‘was there for the president and country when they needed him, in a crime infested NYC when they needed him, and there on 9/11 when the entire country needed him. Where is the @gop, @GOPLeader @GOPChairwoman @LeaderMcConnell for him?’ and tagged those Republican leaders as ‘#RINOs’ and ‘#Cowards.’ The Giuliani ally conspicuously left former President Trump off of his list of top Republicans who have abandoned the former NYC mayor.”
