Giuliani Slams Gowdy And Says He Still Plans To Seek Informant Documents
Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy said a Justice Department briefing left him “more convinced” the FBI acted appropriately. “Well, thank you, let’s see that it’s nothing,” Rudy Giuliani says.

President Donald Trump’s outside lawyers still want to see the FBI’s documents about the informant who reportedly met with three members of the Trump campaign in 2016, despite a claim from Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy that a briefing about the informant left him “more convinced” that the FBI took appropriate actions in the case.
The lawyers, Rudy Giuliani told BuzzFeed News, plan to send a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein “in the next day or so” asking to review all of the Justice Department’s documentation relating to the informant.
Giuliani lashed out at Gowdy — who isn’t running for reelection — for his comments, saying that his constituents “would probably be outraged at what he’s doing.”
He then veered off-topic, adding that those constituents “probably want to figure out what the hell he did with Benghazi.” Gowdy was the chair of the House committee that looked into the attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that left four dead, including Christopher Stevens, the US Ambassador to Libya.
“He sure screwed that one up. You got four families that do not think that Trey Gowdy did his job,” Giuliani said.
