Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal attorney, defended himself Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" from accusations lodged by a former White House official that he has trafficked unfounded theories about foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Here’s my choice: I deal with the [Former FBI Director James] Comeys of the world, or I deal with Rudy,” he said, citing his “very bad taste” for the intelligence community, with which Trump has been in a longtime public feud over how they’ve handled his 2016 campaign and the early stages of his presidency.
In an interview Thursday, President Trump, who has been enjoying a victory lap after being acquitted on both articles of impeachment by the Senate last week, openly acknowledged that he sent Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to pursue corruption investigations and explained his rationale for choosing to use his personal lawyer rather than intelligence officials.
