Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, claimed on Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller is trying to “frame” the president, according to a report.

The former New York City mayor who has been defending the president in Mueller’s Russia probe alleged that the special counsel’s team includes “13 highly partisan Democrats … (who) are trying very very hard to frame him to get him in trouble when he hasn’t done anything wrong​,​”​ the Associated Press reported.​

But Mueller is a Republican who was named special counsel by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is also a Republican appointed by Trump.

​Former President George W. Bush chose Mueller to lead the FBI in 2001.

Speaking at a Globes capital market in Tel Aviv, Giuliani also repeated the assertion he made in a number of appearance on Sunday’s news shows that Trump has the power to pardon himself but won’t because he has done nothing wrong.

Giuliani also raised eyebrows Sunday when he told the HuffPost that Trump’s presidential power is so broad that he can’t be indicted or subpoenaed – even if he shot former FBI Director James Comey.

“I don’t know how you can indict while he’s in office. No matter what it is​,” he told the website on Sunday, adding that impeachment was the only way Trump could be prosecuted. ​​

“If he shot James Comey, he’d be impeached the next day,” Giuliani said. “Impeach him, and then you can do whatever you want to do to him.”

In an interview on CNN the next day, ​Giuliani said he was being “hypothetical.”
