Former President Donald Trump rejected the guidance of his advisers in the election night campaign in 2020 and instead relied on the advice of his former personal lawyer, “apparently drunk” Rudy Giuliani, said MP Liz Cheney.
Evidence will show that Trump has followed Giuliani’s recommendation “just to say he won and to insist that the vote count be stopped, that everything is fraudulent,” Cheney said Monday during the second election committee hearing. of the House of Representatives investigating the January 6 attacks on the US Capitol.
The commission aims to present a seven-part plan for Trump to cancel the 2020 election. Monday’s hearing focused on Trump’s efforts to convince Americans that the election was stolen through massive voter fraud, despite evidence to the contrary.
“He falsely told the American people that the election was not legitimate,” Cheney said. “According to him, the quote is a ‘big scam.’ Millions of Americans believed him. “
Giuliani was among Trumpworld members who met virtually with commission officials, according to evidence during Monday’s hearing.
Much has been written about Giuliani’s allegations that Giuliani told POLITICO in 2018 that they were “extremely offensive.” He admitted to being a social drinker, but said he did not drink alcohol early in the day.
“I will not drink for lunch,” he told POLITICO at the time. “I can drink for dinner. I like to drink cigars.”
However, Trump’s advisers believed that he was usually drunk and almost senile, according to “Landslide: The Last Days of Trump’s Presidency” by Michael Wolfe.
“Giuliani, as many around Trump believed, has always buzzed, if not in the phrase that Steve Bannon made famous in the Trump White House, hopelessly” in the murmur tank, “Wolfe wrote in his book. “Many believed that he had the onset of senility: problems with focus, problems with memory, simple logical failures. A huge disorganization of documents and files and technical malfunctions followed. “
Last year, federal agents searched the home and office of Giuliani, who tried to dig up dirt from Ukrainian officials for the Biden family.
The former federal prosecutor, mayor of New York and Republican presidential candidate is now facing charges of professional ethics from the District of Columbia Bar Association on charges of encouraging unwarranted voter fraud in Pennsylvania.
