Politico reports:
“Truth isn’t truth,” Rudy Giuliani told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning. Giuliani, speaking as a lawyer for President Donald Trump, was trying to clarify why the president should not testify for special counsel Robert Mueller for fear of being trapped into a lie that could lead to a perjury charge.
“When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he’s going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, well that’s so silly because it’s somebody’s version of the truth. Not the truth,” Giuliani told Todd. “Truth is truth,” Todd responded. “No, it isn’t truth,” Giuliani said. “Truth isn’t truth.”

“Truth isn’t truth,” Rudy Giuliani declared today on @MeetThePress, as jaws dropped around the set. I guess he means when you’re using “alternative facts.”
