Rudy Giuliani suggested he was drinking Diet Pepsi, not alcohol, on election night in 2020 when he advised then-President Donald Trump to declare victory.
The outspoken Trump ally denied claims he was drunk that night and tore into ex-Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien and Jason Miller, a senior campaign adviser, for their testimonies before the House select committee investigating that Capitol riot about how Giuliani prodded Trump to issue a premature declaration of victory."I am disgusted and outraged at the out right lie by Jason Miller and Bill Steppien.
"I think the mayor was definitely intoxicated, but I do not know his level of intoxication when he spoke with the president, for example,” Miller recalled during a clip of his deposition played during the hearing on Monday. “There were suggestions by, I believe it was Mayor Giuliani, to go and declare victory and say that we won it outright."
"Is the false testimony from Miller and Stepien because I yelled at them? Are they being paid to lie?" he continued. “It was far too early to be making any calls like that. Ballots were still being counted. Ballots were still going to be counted for days. It was far too early to be making a proclamation like that,” Stepien explained.There was NO clear Trump victory.
