Rudy Giuliani's wild cable news appearances may soon return in a brand new form.
President Trump's personal attorney is considering launching his own podcast about the impeachment inquiry, CNN reports. We evidently know this because Giuliani, who recently accidentally texted a reporter his password, was overheard discussing the plans over lunch, talking about picking a logo and how to upload to iTunes. A Giuliani spokesperson confirmed he had this discussion, saying, "Many Americans want to hear directly from Rudy Giuliani."

This wouldn't be the first impeachment podcast from a Trump ally, with the president's former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, having already launched a podcast and radio show about the inquiry last month. Giuliani recently appeared on an episode of Bannon's show, which was released a day before this lunch conversation took place. Presumably, the appearance helped give him the podcast bug.
Once a regular presence on cable news, Giuliani has stepped back over the past month, with CNN noting his last TV interview came on Oct. 9, the day two of his associates were arrested on money laundering charges. In September, Giuliani infamously admitted in a cable news appearance that he asked Ukraine to investigate Biden moments after denying that he did. This kind of thing created frustration among Trump allies, with one former Trump campaign official telling Politico, "Rudy Giuliani needs to stop talking." Now, he'll evidently be talking impeachment on a regular basis. What could possibly go wrong?
