Trump Lawyer Giuliani Got Paid To Lobby Romanian President

Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, sent a letter to Romanian president Klaus Iohannis, expressing concern about the so-called excesses of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). Giuliani also called for an amnesty to be extended “to those who have been prosecuted and convicted through the excesses of the DNA.” The letter contradicted the US's official position concerning the anti-corruption fight and general political situation in Romania. 

It goes without saying that Liviu Dragnea, the leader of the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) and of the assault on the justice system, welcomed the letter and, in a statement, said something along the lines of "See, America doesn't trust our justice system either". Dragnea, who is "barred from serving as prime minister due to a suspended jail sentence for an attempt to rig a referendum in 2012", desperately wants to bring the justice system under political influence. 

The thing about the letter is, though, that Giuliani was paid to write it by the lawyer of a Romanian criminal who was sentenced to prison in a real estate fraud case.
