for donald trump are amazed that whoo!- it felt like this incredible period of uncertainty. who is that? d up? rudy. the morning after the 2016ers rudy giuliani and donald trump had just been elected president of the united states, you re feeling that there s tons ofar s. opportunity ahead. what s your role expected to be? i have no expectation. all i do is give my advice.shipt donald s been my friend for 28od years. all of my work on behalf of him has been out of great loyaltyatr and friendship to him. h is gets, cause he was the guy wh o stood by trump.u want stood by trump.u want whatever he said, bil tl clinton did much worse. his top pick is secretary of state. so, this is true? network you want to be secretary of you want to be secretary of state? and discuss with the re president-elect. rudy s developed a network of contacts in countries across th- world in the wake of 9/11, andpo world in the wake of 9/11, andpo his geopolitical rock-star
official member of the trump wh team.- i ha the former new york mayor novew joining the president s legal team differ. that. - he wan to - he wan is on twitter and on tv. he is treated differently and unfairly. i have no problem with that.h th he wants giuliani theat trump prosecutor to prosecute the press, to prosecute thes no h gi you got a hysteria going on in the media that interprets - donald trump. there s no hysteria here. and that is what takes and that is what takes giuliani all the way through the trump years. wait, wait. jake, jake, we are so distorting . the system of justice just toly get donald trump, it s gonna d hurt us. he was spending a lot of timo in the west wing. he was somebody who was be former president to reach out en ewto. and i think this kind of brought back together this on-again, off-again longstanding bromance between the two, ofany of these tough, of-a-certain-er ta new york men. a ski he has this direct accessll without any of the re
he was the best mayor in the history of the city of new yorkt he s a great person who loves our country. but shows his appreciation, shows his love for rudy with backhand and criticisms.idency in donahe srump s eyes, there s part of giuliani sere w record, like, he ran for the presidency, and it ry totally went up in flames, so to donald trump, he s a loser. there was a moment after trump had been elected, steven trump had been elected, steven mnuchin, his new treasury secretary, is getting married in washington, and giuliani is very excitedly talking, and trump stops him. he says, rudy, you re spitting . go stand over there. . . and rudy does. rudy thought trump was goingg to appoint him secretary oinf state, and that didn t work, so he keeps around the margins, in any way he can, trying to get back to the center of thare action. one has to really appreciate, to understand the arc of rudy giuliani, how intoxicating fame
so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me. trump spends the call asking zelenskyy, very specifically, to help him investigate hunteruntee biden.d white house notes of that call show that when zelenskyyish asked for a shipment oatf anti-tankmillio missiles, trump countered withn these words, i would like you to do us a favor, though. what zelenskyy doesn t realize is that inside the white house, trump has put a hold on house, agump has put a hold on of aid to ukraine, iren of aid to ukraine, iren anticipation of zelenskyyd agreeing to these investigations. many of those who are closena to donald trump think that none of this would have happened without rudy giuliani. ukraine was giuliani s deal. these were his connections. these were his sources. this was his rogue foreign policy unders.e ukra i don t know that iin think e average american at that time understood why it was so important that we give theian ci security assistance to the
