Trump Says He Doesn’t Know ‘Anything About the Letter’ From Giuliani to Ukrainian President

President Donald Trump denied that he knew about a May 2019 letter from his personal attorney to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In the letter, Giuliani says he represents Trump and asks to set up a private meeting with Zelensky, adding that he was doing so with the “knowledge and consent” of the president.

On Thursday, Trump denied that he had any knowledge of the letter, “I don’t know anything about the letter, but, certainly, Rudy is one of the great crime fighters in the history of our country.”

“I didn’t know about a specific letter, but if he wrote a letter, it wouldn’t have been a big deal,” he added.

Watch his comments below:

Earlier this week, the House Intelligence Committee released a series of documents — given to them by indicted Giuliani associate Lev Parnas — that appeared to show Giuliani was acting at the direction of Trump when he pressured Ukrainian officials to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

In a Wednesday interview on MSNBC, Parnas said Trump was aware of Giuliani’s efforts to get dirt on Biden, “President Trump knew exactly what was going on,” as IJR has previously reported.
