Michael Cohen’s new lawyer blasted Rudy Giuliani for suggesting President Trump’s former longtime fixer tell the truth to the special counsel’s Russia investigation.
“Did @rudygiuliani really say on Sunday shows that @michaelcohen212 should cooperate with prosecutors and tell the truth? ,” Lanny Davis wrote on Twitter on Monday. “Seriously? Is that Trump and Giuliani definition of ‘truth’? Trump/Giuliani next to the word ‘truth’ = oxymoron. Stay tuned. #thetruthmatters.”
Giuliani made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows to press his case that Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling and any collusion by Trump’s campaign associates was corrupt.
The former New York City mayor also said Trump wasn’t aware that Cohen, the president’s longtime fixer and lawyer, paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 weeks before the 2016 election to keep her silent about an affair she alleges she had with Trump a decade earlier.
He suggested Cohen, who’s under criminal investigation for bank and wire fraud by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, be free to speak to investigators.
“Michael Cohen should cooperate with the government. We have no reason to believe he did anything wrong,” Giuliani said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I have no concerns that Michael Cohen is going to do anything but tell the truth.”
Cohen hired Davis, longtime confidant to former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Clinton, last Thursday.
Davis’ hiring came just days after Cohen told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America” that his allegiance is to his family.
“My wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will,” Cohen said.
