As it appears more and more likely that SDNY will charge Rudy Trump tosses him squarely under the bus to try and save himself. Wonder if Rudy will be sharing a cell with Trump's previous attorney?
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/i-didnt-direct-him-trump-denies-sending-giuliani-to-ukrainePresident Trump denied sending his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to seek out damaging information on his political rivals.
Distancing himself from the former New York City mayor like never before, as the House Democrats' impeachment proceedings dig into the burgeoning Ukraine controversy, Trump characterized Giuliani as acting under his own volition.
"No, I didn't direct him, but he's a warrior," Trump said Monday during a radio interview with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, who asked if the president sent Giuliani to Ukraine to "do anything" or put "heat" on them.
Regarding what Giuliani was doing in Ukraine on his behalf, Trump said, "Well, you have to ask that to Rudy. ... I don't even know. I know he was going to go to Ukraine, and I think he canceled a trip, but you know Rudy has other clients other than me. He’s done a lot of work in Ukraine over the years."
Giuliani claimed this month that he was conducting his investigation "concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption" to defend his client against "false charges."
