Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani claimed he did not have time to investigate reports of election fraud, according to deposition tapes.
CNN first obtained tapes of depositions given by former attorneys for former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.
The footage shows responses from the Trump allies to questions asked by a lawyer representing former Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer in his defamation case against them, as CNN reports.
“We had a report that the heads of Dominion and Smartmatic, somewhere in the mid-tweens, you know 2013, 2014, whatever, went down to Venezuela for a get-to-know meeting with (President Nicolás) Maduro so they could demonstrate to Maduro the kind of vote fixing they did for (former President Hugo) Chavez,” Giuliani said.
Coomer’s attorney added, “You say the heads of Dominion and Smartmatic.”
Giuliani explained, “Yes, that’s what I was told. Before the press conference I was told about it. Sometimes I go and look myself, when stuff comes up. This time I didn’t have the time to do it.”
He suggested it is not his job “in a fast-moving case, to go out and investigate every piece of evidence that was given to me. Otherwise, you’re never going to write a story. You’ll never come to a conclusion.”
