Giuliani has previously insisted he does not have an issue with alcohol, denying to Politico last May that it affected his interviews. He added: 'I may have a drink for dinner. I like to drink with cigars.'

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders walked away from reporters on Wednesday morning outside the West Wing when she was asked about Giuliani.

The president told advisers that he felt his lawyer had obscured what he believed was a public relations victory: the special counsel's rare public statement disputing portions of a BuzzFeed News story that Trump instructed his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to lie before Congress.

The president told confidants that Giuliani had 'changed the headlines' for the worse and raised the possibility that Giuliani do fewer cable hits, at least for a while, according to the officials and Republicans.

Several of Trump's influential outside allies also have begun expressing reservations about Giuliani. Some members of this informal network of advisers, whom the president frequently calls from the White House residence, urged Trump in recent days to bench Giuliani – but most stopped short of suggesting he fire his trusted attorney.
