Giuliani says he’d only help impeachment probe with Trump OK

WASHINGTON (AP) — Under fire for peddling a debunked conspiracy theory, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday he would cooperate with the House’s impeachment inquiry only if Trump gave him permission.

“If he decides that he wants me to testify, of course I’ll testify,” Giuliani said during a series of television appearances where impeachment dominated the discussions.

But it’s not clear whether Rep. Adam Schiff, whose House Intelligence Committee is taking the lead on the impeachment investigation, wants to hear sworn testimony from Giuliani.

Central to the Democratic-led inquiry is Giuliani’s effort to have Ukraine conduct a corruption probe into 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s dealings with a Ukrainian energy company. Trump echoed that request in a July call with Ukraine’s president that has now led to the impeachment drive examining whether Trump linked U.S. aid to Ukraine in exchange for that probe. There has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden.

2. Notice that first sentence. The reporting is getting much better.

Two years ago that opening sentence would have began with some comment about "America's Mayor and 911 hero Rudy Giuliani" valiantly defending the president, and would have treated the "debunked conspiracy theory" as something that merited looking into.

I'm so proud of the MSM these past five days. Keep it up!

or move to Ukraine.
