Rudy Giuliani Says FBI Questioned Him On Leaks That Hurt Clinton Campaign
Trumps lawyer says he talked with two FBI agents in his suite at the Trump International Hotel in D.C.
WASHINGTON ― Rudy Giuliani says FBI agents interviewed him in his room at the Trump International Hotel earlier this year regarding his 2016 remarks predicting a surprise in the closing days of the presidential race that would benefit then-Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Thats all they asked about. What was I talking about in terms of surprise? Giuliani told HuffPost Tuesday. What was I talking about when I was talking about new information?
Giuliani was a top campaign adviser in the summer and autumn of 2016 and is now leading the team of lawyers representing Trump in special counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation. His disclosure of the February interview confirms the existence of a Justice Department investigation into leaks from the bureaus New York field office that may have cost Democrat Hillary Clinton the election.
A report issued last week by the Justice Departments Office of the Inspector General found that fears of a potential leak from the field office led FBI officials to advise then-Director James Comey to tell Congress on Oct. 28, just over a week before Election Day, that the bureau had reopened its investigation of Clinton.

Giuliani said he was first contacted by the FBI agents in February, when he was in Bogota, Colombia, and about to enter a meeting with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. He said he received a phone call from his assistant telling him about a call from the FBI. He immediately called the agents back, spoke with them for a few minutes and agreed to an in-person interview coinciding with his next visit to Washington a week and a half later, he said.
It was at the Trump hotel, believe it or not, Giuliani said. They said they would come to me, and I said that was the place to do it.

(1,077 posts)5. Is this a separate OIG investigation from the last weeks testimony?
That's the way I'm thinking. Looking for confirmation.
The report should be interesting. I hope it goes public.
