Trump tells O'Reilly that it was Rudy Giuliani's idea. |
The former host of The O'Reilly Factor was fired out the cannon at Fox News in 2017.
Trump still remains friends with O'Reilly despite Fox firing him for sexual harassment.
Giuliani is under federal watch. He and two of his friends Lev Parnas and Igor Furman became the focus of a scandal that has Trump facing impeachment. It all started from crappy reporting from John Solomon and Sara Carter of Fox News (then Circa and The Hill). The two would promote bullshit conspiracy theories to Sean "Softball" Hannity. In turn, Trump dictates his agenda based off the softball's programs.
Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer went to Ukraine to dig dirt on Hunter Biden and get information from disgraced Ukrainian politicians.
At the impeachment inquiry, the former New York City mayor was hammed by the witnesses.
In this interview O'Reilly, 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 cancelled a trip, but, you know, Rudy has other clients than me."
The conservative agitator asked, "You didn't direct him to go there on your behalf?"
Trump replied, "No."
Under federal watch, Giuliani plots an exit strategy. |
Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor himself was so gun-ho on the bullshit reports from Solomon.
In the transcripts, Trump talked to Volodymyr Zelensky he would get Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr involved. The involvement was that "favor" to get Ukraine to prosecute Hunter Biden and investigate Joe Biden's role in the removal of a prosecutor.
Giuliani raised eyebrows recently by saying he did not think Trump would turn on him during the investigation – and that, even if Trump did, he has an "insurance policy." Giuliani later said he was joking and that his insurance was his case against Biden.
On Monday, Trump called Giuliani "a great guy" and the "best mayor" New York City ever had.
Giuliani has refused to provide information to House investigators about his dealings in Ukraine on Trump's behalf.
Giuliani has done business in Ukraine since at least 2008. In June 2017, he delivered a speech called “Global Challenge, the Role of the U.S. and the Place of Ukraine,” according to a post on the website of the Pinchuk Foundation.
