out corruption but engage in acts himself and why his testimony might be important to a full understanding of what happened here. it s worth it to read the full story by adam, my colleague in the new yorker, unbelievable in its detail. you have to ask yourself, who is rudy guilliani? why is he there? what is he doing? the idea he s working as a criminal defense attorney is absurd. he is running american foreign policy. he is trying to get the american ambassador out of the way. think about that as a concept for a private citizen. and he succeeded. it is just an extraordinary thing. this is what democrats mean when they say the facts of the case are undisputed. even the president s lawyer is admitting the facts of the case. the president is strongly defending guiliani, re-tweeting his tweets. how do you think this will all
their lives have been destroyed by scum, okay, by scum. as for guiliani, the president was asked what he learn from his personal attorney after the trip from ukraine. he responded, not too much. contrast that with what guiliani told reporters last week he found more than the president could imagine, a big inconsistency there. we re counting up all the tweets the president has posted over the last 48-72 hours, dozens of tweets all over the map. missing is some kind of treasure trove of information guiliani dug up in ukraine. it doesn t appear the president s personal attorney really has anything to show for that trip, wolf. thanks for that report. joining us now, one of the senators will take part in the impeachment trial, chris murphy. thanks for coming in. thanks. your leader, chuck schumer is prioritizing he wants robert
cornsteen for nearly 30 years, also rudy giuliani as you mentioned, a good friend from new york city, he had dinner with him in budapest just the week before last. as a diplomat, though, wolf, it s a different story, cornsteen is cutting a controversial figure he has been actively courting, hungary s authoritarian right wing leader much to the display of career diplomats. take a look. it was an independence day to remember. hosted be one of president trump s oldest friends, the u.s. ambassador to hungary, david cornsteen. like the president, cornsteen enjoys putting on a show. singer paul anka was flown in to serenade the guest of honor, hungary s far right authoritarian leader.
attempt to push out the former ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch. he says, i believe i needed yovanovitch out of the way. she was going to make the investigations difficult for everybody. how significant is that admission by guiliani? i think that s very significant and what the evidence showed during the hearings, rudy guiliani and the president basically pushed ambassador yovanovitch out of the way in order to install guiliani guiliani on ukraine policy along with the three amigos, gordon sondland, rick perry and volker in favor of donald trump s political ambitions. as i said before, that s a shadow foreign policy. that is not necessarily in the best interests of the country but maybe in the best interests of rudy guilliani s clients and
we re married 50 years. and we have a good relationship, but we have our days where they re not so good, and we disagree upon certain things. the same thing that s true with the prime minister. but that s a close relationship, then. it s a good relationship where we have established the trust with each other, and where i can tell him where i think he s making a mistake with what he s doing in a respectful manner. ambassador cornstein soon asked us to stop recording but off camera we asked him about his recent dinner here with rudy giuliani. he would only say that the men are close personal friends and that he hadn t even asked giuliani about the purpose of his visit here. throughout the conversation, though, cornstein seemed unfazed by criticism that has come his way. he told us simply, i report to one man only and that is the president of the united states
