Tonight Rudy Giuliani called in to the Laura Ingraham show and responded to the leak of the Cohen-Trump tape.
Here’s the full interview:
Giuliani says they found out earlier this evening that the tape would be released. He said they listened to the tape multiple times over the course of the weekend and transcribed it, and it’s clear that Trump said ‘don’t pay with cash’.
He advised the audience to listen to the difficult tape three times and then it becomes very clear. He pointed out Trump actually said ‘check’, saying that Trump wanted the transaction memorialized.
He also added that “there’s no way the president’s going to be talking about setting up a corporation and then using cash, unless you’re a complete idiot. And the president’s not an idiot.”
Ingraham points out that the rights to the McDougal story were never purchased, which means at best this tape is about an attempt to do something, not proof that it happened.
