She’s a drunk, like Hillary. That explains a lot.

BOMBSHELL: Rudy Giuliani: ‘So What’ If Trump Spoke With Cohen Ahead Of Congressional Testimony?
01/20/2019 11:22 am ET
Trump’s personal attorney also acknowledged that discussions about a Trump Tower deal in Moscow may have occurred through November 2016.

Rudy Giuliani on Sunday downplayed the significance of a possible discussion between President Donald Trump and his then-personal attorney Michael Cohen ahead of Cohen’s testimony before Congress in 2017.

CNN’s Jake Tapper peppered Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer and the former mayor of New York City, with questions about the president’s potential involvement in Cohen’s false statements to Congress about a potential Trump Tower real estate deal in Moscow.

“So it’s possible that ... President Trump talked to Michael Cohen about his testimony?” Tapper asked.

“I don’t know if it happened or didn’t happen,” Giuliani responded. “And so what if he talked to him about it?”

He added, “As far as I know, President Trump did not have discussions with him. Certainly no discussions with him in which he told him or counseled him to lie.”

“I don’t know if it happened or if it didn’t happen. … I have no knowledge if he spoke to him,” Giuliani says on whether President Trump and Michael Cohen discussed Cohen’s congressional testimony, before adding, “So what if he talked to him about it?" #CNNSOTU

Cohen pleaded guilty in November to lying about the deal in his testimony and in a two-page statement to House and Senate intelligence committees weeks earlier. He had said conversations about the Trump Tower deal in Moscow ended in January 2016, months ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

But special counsel Robert Mueller determined Cohen had lied about the timeline in an attempt to “minimize links” between Trump and Russia.

Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow project, BuzzFeed alleged in a bombshell report published Thursday. In a rare statement, Mueller’s team disputed the accuracy of the news story. BuzzFeed has stood by its reporting.

Earlier Sunday, Giuliani appeared on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” where he said that he “still” believes Cohen may have been telling the truth in his testimony to Congress.

“I can tell you counsel to Michael Cohen throughout that entire period was, ‘Tell the truth,’” Giuliani told host Chuck Todd. “We thought he was telling the truth. I still believe he may have been telling the truth when he testified before Congress.”

But minutes later, when asked about the timeline of the Moscow deal conversations, Giuliani acknowledged they “went on throughout 2016.”

“There weren’t a lot of them, but there were conversations,” he said. “Can’t be sure the exact date. ... Probably up to ? could be up to as far as October, November.”
