<\/p>\nMichael Avenatti Blasts Rudy Giuliani After New Disastrous Set of TV Appearances: \u2018It\u2019s a Train Wreck\u2019 \u2013 WATCH<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
Rudy Giuliani appeared on ABC News\u2019 This Week<\/em> (above) with George Stephanopoulos and continued to unload about Trump and Michael Cohen even though he admitted he\u2019s just \u201chalfway\u201d up to speed on the facts.<\/p>\n And it showed.<\/p>\n Asked if Cohen could have paid off more women<\/a> in addition to Stormy Daniels, Giuliani replied, \u201cI have no knowledge of that. But I would think if it was necessary, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n Stormy Daniels\u2019 lawyer Michael Avenatti followed Giuliani as a guest on This Week<\/em>, and had a lot to say about Giuliani\u2019s appearance:<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an absolute, unmitigated disaster for Rudy Giuliani and the president. It\u2019s a train wreck. I can\u2019t believe that actually just happened. I mean what we witnessed by Rudy Giuliani may be one of the worst TV appearances by any attorney on behalf of a client in modern times. He now expects the American people to believe that he doesn\u2019t really know the facts. That as to every key question you ask, he hasn\u2019t communicated with the president about it. I mean this guy<\/a>\u2019s all over the map over the last 72 hours on some very simple facts that should be very straightforward. I think it is obvious to the American people that this is a cover-up, that they are making it up as they go along. They don\u2019t know what to say because they have lost track of the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch:<\/p>\n Stormy Daniels\u2019 attorney @MichaelAvenatti<\/a> calls<\/a> Giuliani\u2019s interview with @GStephanopoulos<\/a>, \u201can absolute, unmitigated disaster for Rudy Giuliani and the president\u2026 I think it is obvious to the American people that this is a cover-up; that they are making it up as they go along.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/cURpRlV3Ce<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 This Week (@ThisWeekABC) May 6, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Giuliani also appeared on FOX News with Judge Jeanine on Saturday night.<\/p>\n As think Progress notes<\/a>, Giuliani repeated his statements that he was not up to speed with the facts, he told Pirro that the payment \u2018would be legal \u201ceven if it was a campaign donation.\u201d According to Giuliani, it was legal as a campaign donation because \u201cthe president\u00a0reimbursed it fully.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n Think Progress notes: \u201cThis, however, is false. While candidates can donate unlimited money to their own campaigns, all campaign donations, and loans, must be reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The failure to report the donation is a violation of federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n Giuliani also called the payment an \u201cexpenditure,\u201d\u00a0the term the FEC uses to describe expenses related to a campaign.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Michael Avenatti Blasts Rudy Giuliani After New Disastrous Set of TV Appearances: \u2018It\u2019s a Train Wreck\u2019 \u2013 WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
