ANALYSIS: Giuliani's unusual role key to exposing internal Trump documents
Oct 2 - Rudy Giuliani's wide-ranging work for U.S. President Donald Trump could make it tougher for him to claim Ukraine-related documents demanded by Congress as part of its impeachment inquiry are confidential and protected under lawyer-client privilege, experts said.
Jon Sale, who is representing Giuliani, said he would be preparing a response to the subpoena and that it would be up to Trump and his office whether to assert such privileges. "There is no significant precedent or support generally for the idea that a person outside the government is protected by executive privilege in the way that White House staff would be,” Mark Rozell, the dean of George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government.
They said they knew of no court that had directly addressed attorney-client privilege in the context of an investigation involving a sitting president's communications with a personal attorney. Documents such as calendars, phone logs and communications with third parties will be difficult to protect from Congress, legal experts said.
