Trump denies telling Giuliani to get Ukraine to investigate political foes

President Trump has denied sending his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to gather intel on his political foes.

“No, I didn’t direct him,” Trump told former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, according to USA TODAY reports.

“But you have to understand, Rudy is a great corruption fighter.”

When O’Reilly pushed the president on what business his attorney was conducting in Ukraine, Trump responded: “ask that to Rudy.”
“I know he was going to go to Ukraine, and I think he canceled a trip,” Trump said.

“But you know, Rudy has other clients other than me.”

Giuliani backed up Trump’s claims in a statement.

“He never did and I never did,” Giuliani told the outlet.

“I never went to Ukraine and I was always seeking evidence to defend him against false charges in my role as his lawyer.”

The former New York City mayor did, however, recently confirm that he conducted a personal investigation into Ukraine “collusion and corruption” during the special counsel probe into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
“The investigation I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges, that kept changing as one after another were disproven,” Giuliani tweeted earlier this month.
