Giuliani doubled down on his claim that negotiations on Trump Tower Moscow continued as late as November 2016. If true, this means Trump continued to work with Russia on a lucrative business deal, even after the FBI had warned him of Russia\u2019s election interference.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cIt’s our understanding that they went on throughout 2016. … Can’t be sure [of] the exact dates, but the president can remember having conversations with him about it.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a> said Trump said that Trump Tower Moscow discussions were \u201cgoing on from the day I announced to the day I won.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani acknowledged that Trump was involved in discussions about Trump Tower Moscow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cI have said the same thing for two months. And that is that the President had very little involvement in this so-called project in Moscow.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani said that even if Trump was involved in discussions with Russia during the campaign, it wouldn’t be a crime.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cEven if it\u2019s true, it\u2019s not criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cEven if he did do it, it wouldn\u2019t be a crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the deal with the tapes? Giuliani went back and forth suggesting there were tapes on something.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cBecause I have been through all the tapes, I have been through all the texts, I have been through all the e-mails, and I knew none existed.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have said tapes.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cNo tapes. Well, I have listened to tapes, but none of them concern this.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, and Giuliani is \u201cnot an ethicist.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Giuliani<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m a criminal lawyer. I am not an ethicist.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
