Shortly after the November general election, Rudy Giuliani changed his focus to assembling a national legal team for then -President Donald Trump’s campaign.

Giuliani, who was Trump’s personal attorney at the time, had to put together a national team in a day, with lawsuits set to come out shortly after Nov. 14, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book.

But the former New York City mayor runs out of a conference room in Rosslyn, Virginia, the campaign headquarters, which is “filled” with trash.

Wolff detailed the less -ideal scenario in “Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump President,” an early copy of which the Insider obtained.

“The room hasn’t been cleaned since Election Day, eleven days before,” the book said. “Rejection filled the trash cans and overflowed the floor. There was a heavy sour or rotting smell in the trash was a week -long buffalo chicken sandwich mixed with Giuliani’s reliable lice.”

While the views from the room were stunning staff could see the Potomac River, along with the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial Giuliani leaned out the window as he was busy approaching election contacts in key swing states from Arizona and Pennsylvania to Georgia and Michigan, the book says.

In the coming weeks, Giuliani will tour around the country, seeking to overturn the election results and stop the Electoral College’s certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.

The Trump campaign went on to file more than 40 campaign lawsuits, and none of them successfully changed the outcome of the presidential election.

Appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, which Trump thought would favor his cause because of its 6-3 conservative side, instead resulted in three major losses.
