‘I wouldn’t give him a nickel’: one-time Giuliani donors rule out legal aid

Billionaire Leon Cooperman, who backed Giuliani's 2008 White House bid, says he won't help with legal fees - and he's not alone

As he attempts to meet mounting legal fees incurred in large part through his work for Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani will reportedly not get a nickel" from one billionaire who backed his campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination - or, apparently, much from many others previously big donors.

I wouldn't give him a nickel," the investor Leon Cooperman told CNBC. I'm very negative on Donald Trump. It's an American tragedy. [Rudy] was America's mayor'. He did a great job. And like everybody else who gets involved with Trump, it turns to shit."
