Giuliani told investigators it was OK to ‘throw a fake’ during campaign

Rudy Giuliani investigators in 2018 that it was OK to “throw a fake” during campaigns.

The newly revealed comments come from a transcript of Giuliani’s interview with Justice Department investigators who were probing if FBI agents leaked sensitive information to the then-attorney for former President Trump when Trump was running for office in 2016.

The federal investigators were zeroing in on Giuliani’s comments in October 2016 during a Fox News appearance where he teased “some pretty big surprises” in the “next few days” that would help the Trump campaign.

Two days after Giuliani’s television appearance, former FBI Director James Comey announced he was reopening the bureau’s investigation into a private email server 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton used while secretary of State.

The Project on Government Oversight filed legal action to obtain the transcript of Giuliani’s interview with investigators. The watchdog group then provided a copy to The Washington Post.
