Giuliani says he'll testify in front of Congress if directed by Trump

Giuliani told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" that he will be "guided by my client."

"I'm a lawyer," he said. "It's his privilege not mine. If he decides that he wants me to testify, of course I'll testify."

Giuliani added he thought Schiff should be removed from his committee post.

"He has already prejudged the case," Giuliani said. "If you want fairness here, we got to put somebody in charge of that committee who has an open mind, not someone who wants to hang the president."

One, Rudy's Ukraine folly was not acting in a capacity as Trump's "lawyer". He insists that it was at the behest of the State Dept. Can't have it both ways Rudy! Secondly, even if he had been acting in a role as personal attorney, committing illegal acts in that capacity 0,would not exempt him from testimony, or prosecution for that matter.
