President Donald Trump previously denied directing his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani's efforts to dig up dirt against Joe Biden in Ukraine.
President Donald Trump on Thursday casually cast aside one of the central claims of his impeachment defense by openly admitting to sending his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to hunt for dirt on the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Story continuesIn Thursday's podcast, however, the president openly acknowledged that Giuliani had been acting on his orders. One of the claims Giuliani was sent to Ukraine to pursue was the theory — which has long been debunked — that Ukraine had helped US intelligence frame Russia for attempting to subvert the 2016 election.
"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." Earlier this week he attacked prosecutors who secured the conviction of and recommended seven to nine years of prison time for his former adviser Roger Stone. Top Department of Justice officially subsequently overruled the recommended sentence, and the prosecutors resigned from the case en masse.
