Attorney General William Barr told President Trump that he thinks the president’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, is a liability amid increased scrutiny over Giuliani’s involvement in the administration’s policy toward Ukraine as part of the House’s ongoing impeachment inquiry, The Washington Post reports.
The newspaper, citing unidentified sources, reports that Barr has expressed concerns to Trump about Giuliani being a liability for the administration. He also reportedly warned Trump in one conversation that the lawyer is not serving him well.

The lawyer is also reportedly under scrutiny as part of an ongoing investigation in the Southern District of New York.
However, Giuliani has maintained in his discussions with the president that he is not in trouble with the law, according to the Post.

He also raised eyebrows earlier this month with his recent trip to the Ukraine amid the impeachment inquiry. During the trip, he met with several Ukraine officials as he pushes for more scrutiny on the Biden family.
Trump said last week that Giuliani will be delivering a report on information he uncovered during the trip to Congress and Barr.
