RUDY GIULIANI SAYS HE “NEVER EVER” DISCUSSED UKRAINE MILITARY AID WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, CALLS JOHN BOLTON “AN ATOMIC BOMB” ON “CBS THIS MORNING”

President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani directly challenged former national security adviser John Bolton’s claims that Mr. Trump tied the hold on military aid for Ukraine to an investigation of the president’s political rivals. Calling the former administration official “a backstabber,” he said Bolton did not come to him with any concern about the investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, in an interview on CBS THIS MORNING.

Excerpts:
- “He never said to me, ‘I’ve got a problem with what you are doing in Ukraine.’ Never once, never winked, never sent me a little note. That’s classic backstabber. So I feel I got a swamp character here. I find his testimony about the president pretty close to incredible.” https://bit.ly/2vwrVkE
- On why he isn’t a part of the White House defense team: “Well, I am, but I can’t participate in what goes on in the Congress, because I’m a possible witness.” https://bit.ly/2RXLLwP
- On calling John Bolton a “backstabber”: “It’s not serious, it’s true. If your friend was complaining about you behind your back and didn’t have the guts to come up to your face and tell you, ‘I think you’re screwing up, Catherine,’ that’d be a backstabber. That’s classic backstabber. So I feel I got a swamp character here. I find his testimony about the president pretty close to incredible. I can’t imagine that the president of the United States said that to him.” https://bit.ly/3aOjilA
- On John Bolton comparing him to a hand grenade: “If he came up to me and said, ‘Rudy, you’re a grenade that’ll blow up,’ and he shows his face, I would say, ‘I would never have the opportunity, because you’re an atomic bomb.’”
