Politico reports:
Rudy Giuliani claimed Sunday he could “produce 20 witnesses“ to testify that hush money payments to women ahead of the 2016 election were intended to protect then-candidate Trump’s family — not purely to influence the outcome of the race.
“I can produce an enormous number of witnesses,” the former New York mayor told journalist George Stephanopoulos during an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” adding: “I can produce 20 witnesses to tell you what he was concerned about.”
“Pathetic. The man is pathetic,” Giuliani said of Michael Cohen. “Unless you’re God, this man, you will never know what the truth is.”
President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani tells @GStephanopoulos that payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal are “not a crime.”
“If it’s not a campaign expense, it can’t be a campaign contribution,” he claims https://t.co/P6iz1j1VA4 #ThisWeek pic.twitter.com/XLXgX6goqE

I asked Rudy Giuliani if Roger Stone ever gave President Trump a heads up on Wikileaks leaks.
“No, he didn’t … I don’t believe so, but again, if Roger Stone gave anybody heads up about Wikileaks leaks, that’s not a crime,” Giuliani says https://t.co/Daa6EHmTX8 pic.twitter.com/COZeTb9QSs

.@GStephanopoulos: “Did the president know about Don Jr.’s Trump Tower meeting with the Russians at the time?”
Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani: “No, that is definitely, he didn’t know about it. And I think that’s consistent testimony” https://t.co/qugdNsiXtj #ThisWeek pic.twitter.com/hx4JLpbvg9
