Giuliani seeks to clarify comments on Trump campaign and Russia, saying he has ‘no knowledge of any collusion’

By Philip Rucker January 17 at 1:23 PM

President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani, on Thursday dialed back a comment that had left open the possibility that members of Trump’s 2016 campaign may have conspired with Russia, saying he did not intend to suggest any conspiracy or wrongdoing.

On Wednesday night, Giuliani contradicted repeated denials from Trump and his team that there was “no collusion” between the campaign and Russians by asserting on CNN, “I never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign.”

When anchor Chris Cuomo responded, “Yes, you have,” Giuliani replied: “I have not. I said ‘the president of the United States.’ ”

In a written statement, as well as in a telephone interview with The Washington Post, Giuliani said he can speak only for his client, the president, and not for those who worked on the Trump campaign, adding that his knowledge is limited to Trump’s actions.

“I represent only President Trump not the Trump campaign,” Giuliani’s statement read. “There was no collusion by President Trump in any way, shape or form. Likewise, I have no knowledge of any collusion by any of the thousands of people who worked on the campaign.”

Giuliani’s efforts to create distance between the president and top aides ensnared in the special counsel investigation come amid new signs of how extensively Mueller has mapped interactions between Trump associates and Russians in his 20-month-long investigation.

2. This is why I stopped watching cable news

They invite liars like this on and never confront them adequately. They get their message out and the response is “but but but”.

Cut their mics, play what they said and then tell them to get the f out because lying to the audience is not allowed.

Yeah they shouldn’t cuss but I’m not getting that job anytime soon.
