Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was paid US$500,000 to consult on indicted associate's firm

WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Mr Rudy Giuliani, was paid US$500,000 for work he did for a company co-founded by the Ukrainian-American businessman arrested last week on campaign finance charges, Mr Giuliani told Reuters on Monday .

Mr Giuliani said he was hired to consult on Fraud Guarantee's technologies and provide legal advice on regulatory issues. Mr Giuliani told Reuters the money came in two payments made within weeks of each other. He said he could not recall the dates of the payments. He said most of the work he did for Fraud Guarantee was completed in 2018 but that he had been doing follow-up for over a year.

The money was used, in part, by Fruman, Parnas and two other men charged in the indictment to gain influence with US politicians and candidates, the indictment said.
