Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer for President Donald Trump, downplayed Michael Flynn’s 19 interviews with three investigations, including special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, played down Michael Flynn’s cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, insisting that investigators do not have anything incriminating on the president.
According to NBC News White House correspondent Hallie Jackson, Giuliani said: “They don’t have bupkis” after he reviewed the sentencing memo sent by Mueller in Flynn’s case.
Giuliani told Jackson that if Mueller’s investigation had anything damaging on Trump it would have revealed as such in the sentencing memo, not redacted it. Asked when was the last time the president spoke with Flynn, Giuliani said: “I don’t know, I don’t care.”
Flynn, a former general, was briefly Trump’s national security adviser until it emerged that he lied to the FBI about his contact with the then Russian ambassador in Washington, D. C., Sergey Kislyak, during the Trump team’s transition.
