WASHINGTON — As the Republican leader of the Senate makes it clear he would prefer a quick and quiet acquittal in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, someone has apparently forgotten to tell the president’s free lawyer. Rudy Giuliani in recent days has been on a public relations tear, conducting print and television interviews essentially confirming a key charge in the impeachment articles against his client.
