Washington (CNN)Emboldened after his impeachment acquittal, President Donald Trump now openly admits to sending his attorney Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to find damaging information about his political opponents, even though he strongly denied it during the impeachment inquiry.

The reversal came Thursday in a podcast interview Trump did with journalist Geraldo Rivera, who asked, "Was it strange to send Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine, your personal lawyer? Are you sorry you did that?" Trump responded, "No, not at all," and praised Giuliani's role as a "crime fighter."

"Here's my choice: I deal with the Comeys of the world, or I deal with Rudy," Trump said, referring to former FBI Director James Comey. Trump explained that he has "a very bad taste" of the US intelligence community, because of the Russia investigation, so he turned to Giuliani.

"So when you tell me, why did I use Rudy, and one of the things about Rudy, number one, he was the best prosecutor, you know, one of the best prosecutors, and the best mayor," Trump said. "But also, other presidents had them. FDR had a lawyer who was practically, you know, was totally involved with government. Eisenhower had a lawyer. They all had lawyers."

Trump had previously denied that he sent Giuliani to Ukraine. Asked in November if he directed Giuliani to "do anything" in Ukraine, Trump said, "No, I didn't direct him," but went on to call Giuliani a "great corruption fighter."


Gonna save y’all some time: “melt”, “got him”, “orange man bad”, “muh Russia”, etc.

So what? CNN is blah, blah, blah, blah...same old shite. The Village Idiot knew Giuliani was over there working for Trump. Rudy told anyone who would ask him.

Why not quote the best part where CNN shows its arse?

quote:

Giuliani says he's exposing legitimate corruption in Ukraine, even though his claims about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden have been widely debunked.


Yeah, none of this has been debunked. That would imply an investigation has already taken place. The Bidens’ denials don’t constitute debunking.

The President of the United States is a bold-faced liar.

I guess you’re employing some weird word parsing.

Clutch away. Nobody cares.

Denied sending him to dig up dirt on the Biden's.

Nowhere in the article do I see him say he sent him to do so.
