Rudy Giuliani Cancels Trip to Ukraine to Break the Law for Trump

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani canceled a planned trip to Ukraine to collect information on investigations that could help Donald Trump win re-election after backlash.

The NYT reports: ‘Mr. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, explained that he felt like he was being “set up,” and he blamed Democrats for trying to “spin” the trip. “They say I was meddling in the election — ridiculous — but that’s their spin,” he said.’

Giuliani told the NYT earlier this week: “We’re not meddling in an election, we’re meddling in an investigation, which we have a right to do. … There’s nothing illegal about it. Somebody could say it’s improper. And this isn’t foreign policy — I’m asking them to do an investigation that they’re doing already and that other people are telling them to stop. And I’m going to give them reasons why they shouldn’t stop it because that information will be very, very helpful to my client, and may turn out to be helpful to my government.”

Giuliani was slammed by pundits after the cancellation, which he announced on FOX News.

Said MSNBC host Donny Deutsch: “He’s become such a despicable figure, such a tragic old man doing anything to stay relevant. What a disappointing, sad, little old man that has taken on such a dastardly, evil, twisted manner that he would display this in the last 24 hours, which was probably just a publicity stunt in the first place. Out of all the president’s men, of all these swamp things, Rudy Giuliani stands out to me as the lowest of the low.”

What One LGBTQ Teen Wants His Mom to Know this Mother’s Day

With Mother’s Day this weekend and Father’s Day around the corner, HRC asked young people to submit letters and share stories about a caring adult in their life.

This letter, one of many incredible notes received, comes from Miles Sanchez, a former HRC Youth Ambassador. Please read his note and, then share your own words about a caring adult who made an impact on you.

Whether you’re a mom or not, we hope you find this note as heartwarming as we do.

This Mother’s Day, I am grateful for my mom’s support of my crazy gay journey.

There aren’t enough words in the world for me to express my appreciation for my mom, Amber Sanchez.

We might not have shared that emotional teen movie coming out scene, but she has been my biggest supporter on my crazy gay journey … I don’t think I could have asked for anyone better to be there for me.

She has shown me nothing but unconditional love and it would be wrong for me to give anything less back. She has done everything for me — from watching me get my first binder, taking me to safe spaces to find my community, advocating for me at schools and doctor’s offices, going with me to my first Pride parade, and simply just looking at me and telling me I’m handsome while we are sitting on the couch at home.

Her support helped me reach my own self-love and actualization, because I knew even if the world was against me I could always come back to loving arms and a loving home … and, as long as I have that, nobody else’s opinion of me matters.

It’s so important for LGBTQ youth like me to have a supportive parent or adult figure in their life.  Even if they don’t completely understand what you’re going through, they can still support you and give you the safety to explore who you are at your own pace.

So, thanks, Mom for loving me for me. You model what it means to be an ally of the LGBTQ community through your open-mindedness, your respect for pronouns, your mindfulness and your deep love.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

Miles Sanchez
Former HRC Youth Ambassador
