As President Donald Trump's second impeachment made headlines, the angry, isolated and morose president still refuses to accept accountability for his actions. Instead, he is reportedly wallowing in self-pity and shifting the blame elsewhere instead of taking responsibility for his own actions.

According to The Washington Post, an angry and defeated Trump has instructed White House aides not to pay legal fees to his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. In addition to stiffing the attorney for legal fees, Trump is also demanding to personally review Giuliani's expenses before reimbursing him:

"Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani's legal fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president's behalf to challenge election results in key states. They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani's moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election."

Over the last three months, Giuliani has been at the helm of Trump's post-election legal warfare. More than 60 of the Trump campaign's post-election lawsuits were tossed out of courts across the United States.
