  • Rudy Giuliani sought former President Donald Trump's help with paying his legal bills, CNN reported.

  • CNN said Giuliani and his lawyer made a personal visit to Trump at Mar-a-Lago in recent months.

  • An unnamed source told CNN that Trump wasn't very keen to help Giuliani.

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York has personally sought former President Donald Trump's help with paying his legal bills, CNN reported in a story published Thursday.

Citing several unnamed sources, CNN reported that Giuliani traveled to Mar-a-Lago in recent months along with his lawyer Robert Costello, with the primary purpose of getting Trump to pitch in with some cash.

One of the sources told CNN that the pair believed they could better explain to Trump at a physical meeting why he needed to help with Giuliani's legal bills.

Giuliani may not have gotten the answer he wanted. A source told CNN that while Trump said he would help with the bills, he did not commit to any timeline or pledge a specific amount.

On Monday, Giuliani was one of 19 defendants — including Trump — who was charged in connection to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Giuliani was indicted on multiple criminal charges, including racketeering.

During Monday's episode of Giuliani's livestream show, "America's Mayor Live," Giuliani acknowledged that he wasn't feeling great about getting charged.

"As you see, I'm very nervous and sweating and upset, whether I'm going to be indicted. It does trouble me greatly because I value my reputation beyond anything," Giuliani said on his show.

"I find that what they've done here is reprehensible. And I feel it's reprehensible with regard to me, my family, my career, and what I've done in my life," he added.

Representatives for Giuliani and Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.
