Trump lavished praise on Giuliani, then hinted he may throw him under the bus
President Donald Trump Thursday sent mixed signals about his attorney Rudy Giuliani, lavishing praise on him, but also denying any knowledge of a letter in which Giuliani claimed to be working with his"knowledge and consent" when seeking to drum up damaging information on Joe Biden in Ukraine.
In the letter, Giuliani claimed to be acting with Trump's full"knowledge and consent" when he sought an audience last May with Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's president. Giuliani and his associates sought to pressure Zelensky into announcing a probe into Biden over work done by his son Hunter for Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm.
But Parnas' evidence leaves little doubt that the main target was the Bidens, and he claimed in an interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow this week that Trump was in on it all along.
