President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani says key players from the infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 attended another meeting days before but it was on an unrelated subject and the president wasn't there.
Giuliani gave several confusing answers about the meeting in morning TV interviews – then called in to 'Fox and Friends' to try to clean up any misconceptions about it.
He said he put out information himself to try to head off media reports that gave the wrong impression. He said on CNN that the meeting occurred two days before the June 9 Trump Tower meeting that included a Russian lawyer with Kremlin ties.
But he said the meeting wasn't to plan for the Russia meeting, as he said longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was alleging.
'That's a real meeting on another provable subject in which he was not participating,' he told CNN's 'New Day.'
Giuliani also referenced Cohen and his lawyer, Lanny Davis, as he discussed the other Trump camp meeting.
'Then you get to the other meeting he says he was at that the president wasn't at - it's three or four on one … Lanny Davis has added that there was a meeting two days before the meeting took place,' Giuliani said.
He also appeared to confirm the meeting happened when he said: 'And this meeting that Cohen's talking about took place before the meeting with the Russians.'
But in a later phone-in to Fox News, after speaking to Fox hours earlier, Giuliani said there was no meeting.
'We deny that happened. We say it didn't happen,' the former prosecutor said.
He said the second meeting was brought to his attention by Trump lawyer Jay Sekolow and that two reporters were working on a story about it.

and Mueller gave the Cohen case away which means it is worthless - it is not going anywhere.

I thought I heard the other day (RUSH??) that by farming them out, if he gets canned they can go forward with those already in the mix??? Or something like that.
Trump wanted Rudy to go out there and confuse the matter, not act confused.
Just like you Rudy’s been putting his foot in his mouth. Apparently you haven’t been watching or listening to his comments. Get up to date so you know what your talking about.
I think President Trump needs to retain Gregg Jarrett asap!!!
It really is beyond comprehension as to why arguably the best POTUS ever cannot acquire decent legal representation.
Moreover, it is appalling that Obummer had two strong AGs (Holder and Lynch)to keep things under control, yet President Trump continues to be besieged after all of this time!!!
'Misspelling' is how you spell it.
You should have asked your Uncle Whitey in advance.
Thank you, Bratch!
Folks, here you go.
The Daily Mail story is CRAP.
Do NOT react to it.
Mueller “handed the Cohen matter over to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, whose office is responsible for investigating and prosecuting FEDERAL cases in New York City.”
Which means that Pres. Trump still retains power and jurisdiction to pardon Cohen if and when he is ever accused or convicted of any Federal crimes. Moreover, it means that Pres. Trump has the ultimate authority to discipline anyone in the US Attorney’s office for misfeasance or malfeasance in office, abuse of power, and violation of a suspect’s civil rights.
In my opinion, this implies that Special Counsel Mueller handed off the Cohen matter because it is a political/legal hot potato, and any prosecutor handling it is going to get his fingers burned.
You should have reported me to the spelling moderator.
Who knows. I might have gotten banned.
“Whatever happened to Jay Sekulo?”
That’s what I’m wondering. He is one of the best. Does he keep a low profile on purpose while doing great work for President Trump? Anyone here know?
Seriously?
Hire Alan Dershowitz
Go for it, Rudy. No one else will.
Are you kidding?
Didn’t make the cut....
Rudy is the bomb.
Hateful.
It could be a tactic to keep the rags occupied with bad information. Information that means nothing.
IMHO, Rudy is first-rate. It is what he is dealing with that is impossibly screwed-up, with everyone changing the scene every minute. He knows his stuff, doesn’t matter if he was the prosecutor or the defendant. He’s like Gulliver and the Lilliputians. (Not including Trump in that group. He must be tearing his hair out as well.)
Don’t know. Don’t care.
Don’t care about Spermy porn stars. Don’t care about Roooskies. It’s all BS.
Anything to avoid talking about the economy. Or regulations. Or taxes. Or border security. Or the wall. Or judges and justices.
Or anything else that actually matters.
Are y’all 6 years old? ‘Cuz you’re both acting like it.
