GOP Pays Rudy Giuliani Associates Wrapped Up in Ukraine Probe
As the Justice Department investigation into Rudy Giuliani’s Ukrainian dealings continues, the Republican Party is ignoring the controversy and shelling out tens of thousands of dollars to a curious pair: a husband-and-wife team of his associates who played key roles in his alleged efforts to meddle in the 2020 presidential election.
The Republican National Committee paid $20,000 last month to DiGenova & Toensing LLP, a law firm helmed by two longtime GOP insiders who are married to each other: Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing.
According to a campaign finance report that the RNC filed on Friday, the $20,000 was for “legal and compliance services,” and it was made July 12—just days after the D.C. Court of Appeals suspended Giuliani’s license to practice law in the city.
