On Wednesday morning, the day after news leaked that Gowdy was set to serve as outside counsel to the president, Victoria Toensing, a veteran Washington lawyer who has been working with Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, expressed concern and disbelief that the one-time advocate for congressional oversight would be coming on board.Toensing argued Gowdy mishandled the select committee that investigated Democrat Hillary Clinton’s handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S.
Toensing and her husband, Joe DiGenova, work with Giuliani though they are not officially on Trump’s legal team. The pair, who are close with Trump, are regulars on the conservative cable network Fox News. Last month, the channel reported they were “working off the books” with Giuliani to help get opposition research on former Vice President Joe Biden, who is currently mounting a White House bid.
After issuing her scathing critique of Gowdy, Toensing went on to suggest other lawyers working for the president shared her opinion. Giuliani, a former New York City mayor who plays a dual role of legal adviser and media surrogate for the president, defended Gowdy when asked about Toensing’s criticisms. Specifically, Giuliani suggested Gowdy’s experience on Capitol Hill would be an asset to Trump.

Fox News terminates Trey Gowdy as the former GOP congressman joins Trump's legal defenseThe former South Carolina lawmaker's ousting came a day after it was widely reported that the White House tapped Gowdy to join its legal defense team to help President Donald Trump combat the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry. Terminates his employment or actually terminates him? Seems harsh. How would anyone tell? Wow. Can we actually say good for Fox News? Hopefully, Gowdy will also go down with the ship.

Trey Gowdy as a contributor after reports that he is joining President Donald Trump’s legal team as outside counsel for the impeachment inquiry. A Fox… Was someone off their meds today? The Fox News spokesperson was supposed to say “Trey Gowdy is stepping down as Fox News contributor in order to help the White House prosecute Hillary, Obama and Comey.” But since Paul Ryan with the Murdochs on the board now? Makes perfect sense
