Pres. Trump says he did not direct his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to travel to Ukraine on his behalf, despite telling Ukraine's president earlier this year that he should talk to Giuliani.
President Donald Trump said that he did not direct his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to travel to Ukraine on his behalf, despite telling Ukraine's president earlier this year that he should talk to Giuliani.
"I think he's done work in Ukraine for years," Trump said during an interview for former Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly's"No Spin News" program."He's done a lot of work in Ukraine over the years and I think, I mean that's what I heard. I might have even read that someplace, but he's a good man and he's an honorable guy and he's a great crime fighter, corruption fighter.
"I would like him to call you," Trump told Zelenskiy, according to the call record released by the White House."I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great."After news broke in May of a trip Giuliani planned to take to Ukraine, the lawyer told The New York Times that the president"basically knows what I'm doing, sure, as his lawyer.
Witnesses have told lawmakers that Giuliani played a central role in pushing a debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 U.S. election and a disputed theory that Joe Biden, as vice president, pushed Ukraine to dismiss its top prosecutor to prevent him from looking into a Ukrainian company where Biden's son sat on the board.
"He felt personally insulted by what happened during my campaign, because there were a lot of bad things happening," Trump said.
