Rudy Giuliani on ABC’s This Week Sunday blasted Michael Cohen as “pathetic” and a habitual liar after the longtime Trump associate said he violated campaign finance laws at President Trump’s direction.
“The man is pathetic… He’s a lawyer. He’s the guy you depend on to determine whether or not you should do it this or way or that way,” Giuliani said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Giuliani, who represents Trump in the Russia investigation, said that Cohen had previously indicated on a number of documented occasions that he acted on his own and was reimbursed by the president.
Guiliani addressed the campaign finance issue in the Southern District of New York claiming they don’t have “corroborating evidence.”

The President tweeted this morning, calling him a rat.
“Remember, Michael Cohen only became a “Rat” after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started. They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE! Why didn’t they break into the DNC to get the Server, or Crooked’s office?”
Cohen’s lawyer — a Hillary lawyer/friend — responded and said Cohen wouldn’t take a pardon from Trump if it was handed to him.
Well, that’s good, isn’t it? Because Trump wouldn’t give him one!

Rudy Giuliani says he had a conversation with Michael Cohen’s lawyers about possibility of a pardon: “I told his lawyers there will be no discussion of a pardon.”
