Trump contradicts past denials, admits sending Giuliani to Ukraine

[Francee89]

Emboldened after his impeachment acquittal, President Donald Trump now openly admits to sending his attorney Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to find damaging information about his political opponents, even though he strongly denied it during the impeachment inquiry.

The reversal came Thursday in a podcast interview Trump did with journalist Geraldo Rivera, who asked, "Was it strange to send Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine, your personal lawyer? Are you sorry you did that?" Trump responded, "No, not at all," and praised Giuliani's role as a "crime fighter."

...

Trump had previously denied that he sent Giuliani to Ukraine. Asked in November if he directed Giuliani to "do anything" in Ukraine, Trump said, "No, I didn't direct him," but went on to call Giuliani a "great corruption fighter." Giuliani says he's exposing legitimate corruption in Ukraine, even though his claims about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden have been widely debunked.

The endless lying sure doesn’t point to him learning a lesson, like many of his GOP enablers said they hoped he would.

He's a petty ass liar, but that seems to be what sells.

He’ll keep crossing the line knowing he’s protected by a new mob called the republicans

That's an excellent description of the party.

Oh, he's learned a lesson. He will always have his group of lackeys around to excuse his behavior, no matter what the cost.
