President Donald Trump said that he did not direct his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to travel to Ukraine on his behalf, despite telling Ukraine’s president earlier this year that he should talk to Giuliani.
Asked in a radio interview that aired Tuesday whether he directed Giuliani “to go to Ukraine to do anything or put any heat on them,” Trump replied, “No, I didn’t direct him but he’s a warrior, Rudy’s a warrior.”
In another sign that he was distancing himself from his personal lawyer’s work in the Ukraine — despite frequently praising Giuliani and endorsing his activities in Ukraine — Trump said that Giuliani provides legal representation to not just him but for other clients, too.
