Rudolph Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s lawyer and a former federal prosecutor, said there’s nothing wrong with a US presidential candidate taking information from Russian sources.
“It depends on where it came from,†Giuliani told moderator Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.†While in hindsight he’d advise against accepting Russia’s aid “out of an excess of caution,†Giuliani said any political candidate would accept potentially damaging information on an opponent.
Giuliani’s comments reflect Trump’s concerted response to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, which summarised his two-year investigation of Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election. Congressional Democrats are debating whether the report’s conclusions warrant
initiating impeachment proceedings against Trump.
