Giuliani was intentionally given the wrong time for a debate-prep session after clashing with other

Trump advisors, book says

In September, then-President Donald Trump sat down for the first in a series of prep sessions for the upcoming debates with then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

During the session, former GOP Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey played Biden, and Trump senior counselor Kellyanne Conway stood in for the Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, who would be moderating the first debate at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, a forthcoming book by the Washington Post reporters Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker says.

Rudy Giuliani, who was Trump's personal lawyer at the time, also wanted to take part in the session, according to the book, "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year," an early copy of which was obtained by Insider.

But he clashed with Christie and Conway over the president's approach in taking on Biden, to the point where aides intentionally gave Giuliani the wrong start time for the next prep session, the book says.

Christie missed the campaign plane before the 2016 election. (I could look up the date but I'm too lazy.) I read this in Chris Christie's book a couple years ago. Those two hate each other.

That everybody hated him. He came to one debate prep. His phone kept ringing, he couldn't figure out how to work his iPad, and he kept farting.
