Rudy Giuliani says that he won’t testify before the House of Representatives as part of its impeachment inquiry unless he gets the go-ahead from President Donald Trump
Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he won’t testify before the House of Representatives as part of its impeachment inquiry unless he gets the go-ahead from President Donald Trump.
Giuliani has functioned as an emissary from Trump — and, he claims, the State Department — to press Ukraine to launch an investigation into Trump’s political rival Joe Biden and Biden’s son Hunter Biden. Giuliani has claimed without evidence that when Biden was vice president he attempted to block an investigation into a Ukrainian energy company whose board of directors included Hunter Biden.
Giuliani has also claimed — again without evidence — that information that led to criminal charges against Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort were part of a Democratic plot to interfere with the 2016 election. Manafort is serving seven years in prison on a variety of charges, including federal fraud and conspiracy offenses.
Giuliani said he hasn’t discussed with Trump the possibility of testifying, nor has anyone in the House contracted him about doing so.
