Rudy Giuliani: Impeaching Trump would mean 'people's revolt'
[SkyNews] President's lawyer claimed there was "no reason" for impeachment and says Trump has been "vindicated" by Michael Cohen's account.Donald Trump's lawyer has said "the American people would revolt" if the president was impeached. In an interview with Sky News Rudy Giuliani claimed there was "no reason" for an impeachment and called Mr Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen "a liar". "You could only impeach [Trump] for political reasons and the American people would revolt against that," he said. Cohen admitted on Tuesday to paying hush money to a porn actress and a model at the request of a "candidate" - revealed by his lawyer to be Donald Trump - in order to influence the 2016 US election campaign. His lawyer says it is "absolutely clear that Donald Trump committed a felony" in the run-up to the election, and the developments have heightened speculation that the president could be impeached. Mr Giuliani, however, said he believed Mr Trump has been "completely cleared" by Cohen's testimony, saying it was "inevitable" that he would not be impeached. "You have this Cohen guy, he doesn't know anything about Russian collusion, he doesn't know anything about obstruction, he's a massive liar," he said. Mr Giuliani, former mayor of New York, spoke to Sky News during a golfing trip at Balmedie on the Aberdeenshire coast, a course owned by Mr Trump. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-08-24 |
