Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani launched into a wild, rambling attack claiming Vice President Joe Biden bribed Ukrainian officials to protect his son, Hunter, during an epic, trainwreck interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo
From the outset of his appearance, Giuliani was on the offense, throwing out rhetorical chaff to distract the conversation away from a blockbuster whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump.
“I’m glad I’m on tonight because what you just said is totally erroneous,” Giuliani spit out about Cuomo’s introduction about the whistleblower story. “Every single thing you just said is completely spun in the same direction you’ve been doing for two years!”
Giuliani quickly pivoted back to the 2016, and then unequivocally claimed that Joe Biden “bribed the president of the Ukraine in order to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son.”
After minutes of crosstalk and wild claims, Cuomo finally pinned down on Giuliani and pressed him to answer a simple question about his trip to Ukraine.
“Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden?” Cuomo asked.
“No, actually I didn’t. I asked Ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was interference in the election of 2016 by the Ukrainians for the benefit of Hillary Clinton for which there already…” Giuliani said.
“Your never asked anything about Hunter Biden? You never asked anything about Joe Biden to the prosecutor?” Cuomo pressed.
“The only thing I asked is to get to the bottom of how it was that the guy who was appointed dismissed the case against Antac,” Giuliani responded.
“So you did ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden,” Cuomo pointed out.
“Of course I did,” Giuliani said.
“You just said you didn’t!” Cuomo shot back.
The pair continued to clash, and Giuliani grew increasingly unhinged, insulting Cuomo as a “sellout” and then linking the nephew of former Boston mobster Whitey Bulger to Biden and claimed that “corrupt media” like CNN won’t cover it.
We’ll have more from this interview later. For now, watch the video above, via CNN.
