The interview was scheduled for Friday afternoon, but the committee would not meet Giuliani’s last minute demand.
According to The Hill, Giuliani wanted the virtual interview recorded as well as transcribed.
“Mr. Giuliani had agreed to participate in a transcribed interview with the Select Committee,” said committee spokesperson Tim Mulvey. “Today, he informed committee investigators that he wouldn’t show up unless he was permitted to record the interview, which was never an agreed-upon condition.
Giuliani was subpoenaed because he served as former President Trump’s personal attorney. He is considered a key witness, and the committee said they would pursue “enforcement options” if Giuliani refuses to comply.
The subpoena alleges Giuliani “actively promoted claims of election fraud on behalf of former President Trump and sought to convince state legislators to take steps to overturn the election results”.
Giuliani’s personal attorney Robert Costello said the two sides are still in talks.
It should be recorded so the public can view it. I think it is a reasonable request.
A man the “NEW” regime is known for its lies and conniving to get what they want as the outcome not the truth or legal justice.
Recording and transcript is also a guarantee that if his testimony is publicized with remarks taken out of context, it can be refuted by publicly presenting the complete testimony. What is the “Select Committee” afraid of? The dishonest entity, or the one with ulterior intents, is typically the one who wants to keep matters “off the record”. This is very telling.
u r right terence.
example of depending on a transcript alone is when Vindman publicly admitted he tried to change the transcript of Trumps phone call with the Ukrainian President. he wanted to make a change from what was actually said to what he thought Trump meant. the only thing stopping him was he did not have access/authority to make changes to the transcript.
if he had made that change we would have never known the truth. of course the truth did not stop the dems so called fake impeachment.
the dems will try too paint their partisan jan 6 investigation of Trump/ Repub in a very damaging report Giuliani was smart to protect himself.
look what they did with the information that rudy gave to the DOJ. where did it go?
Giuliani’s requirement seems reasonable. Is this “Committee” afraid of something?
They better be afraid. If they called that little tiff on January 6th insurrection wait until they cause a full revolt.
Exactly! They are sorely mistaken about Jan 6th being an “insurrection”. If the Conservatives thought they needed to start, participate in, and finish an insurrection, it would look NOTHING like January 6th.
I suppose that this witch hunt by the democrats will end when the Republicans take both Houses of Congress, along with the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James will cease and desist going after Former President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and their friends!
Don’t count on that. When there was a Republican majority while Trump was President, Paul Ryan ensured that nothing happened. Until all of the scum of Paul Ryan’s ilk are swept from the party, it will be business as usual for the swamp/sewer.
correct; not just ryan, but the other republican majority leaders
They won’t record it, because then the truth would come out. Pelousy and the rest of the democrat pedo’s should be the ones in prison!
If he records it, they won’t be able to selectively edit it…
Why doesn’t the “committee” want to be on record?
The left is definitely scared to death of Trump. He is standing in the way of their satanic NWO agenda. Plus he’ll expose their corruption. They have to eliminate him and his followers, hence the new misinformation government entity.
If everything is on the up and up, why would they mind it being recorded?
It is obvious that that January 6, 2020 Committee wants their subscribers to DELIBERATELY misinterpret what Giuliani would be testifying about. Giuliani obviously knew that would happen; thus, that is why he wanted to record his testimony.
This request is not just reasonable, it should be a necessity for legal assurance. How else can you prove if the “committee” makes a statement of declaration about what Giuliani said, did, and it foundationally false? You need proof of what was said totally, not spliced and taken out of context in order to fit a narrative. That’s politics and what they do, NOT the truth. Democrats hate the truth.
So the kangaroo court is afraid of what those transcripts might reveal. Big surprise.
There was election fraud. So he told the truth and is being subpoenaed? Should call in the people seen counting the votes more than once, or the state governments who changed the voting regulations unconstitutionally, or the people who excepted Facebook’s shady money in order to change the election outcome. There are many more who really have accurate information for them. Did they watch 2,000 mules? Explains how those swing states election was fraudulent. Calling in the wrong people, as usual.
They don’t want it recorded so the can bend it to say whatever they want it to say.
Me thinks Piglosi is afraid of anything bieng recorded, as it would show SHE was behind it all, in order to impeach Trump again! That blew up in her face, so now she refuses to allow Guliani to record his own testimony. Tells one a LOT about the sham she is perpetrating on tax payer’s money! The speaker’s chair must be vacated, remove that crazy old woman, and get a REAL Republican speaker in. Stop this nonsense!
C’mon man! The Bidenreich is the most honest and transparent administration in HISTORY. Just ask them.
He didn’t spread lies the election was stolen rigged I know it rveryone knows it
“actively promoted claims of election fraud on behalf of former President Trump and sought to convince state legislators to take steps to overturn the election results”.
Who cares??? None of what is alleged is illegal. On the contrary, he used legal arguments and presented affidavits of eyewitnesses that on penalty of perjury say they witnessed illegal acts during the election.
Again, nothing Giuliani is alleged to have done is a crime. Which raises the question why then is the real reason he is being subpoenaed? And why do they object to this interview being recorded?
All the witnesses they subpoena should show up and answer the same way Hillary the pig did about all of her crimes. I can’t recall and etc.
This so-called Committee is NOT interested in the truth, nor the events of 1/6. They just want to harass anyone related to Trump and his followers. If Giuliani appeared before them, he would be badgered and not allowed to freely give testimony. Then they could cook up some phony perjury charges!
With “errors” all falling in one direction these days, who can blame him?
so the charge–The subpoena alleges Giuliani “actively promoted claims of election fraud on behalf of former President Trump and sought to convince state legislators to take steps to overturn the election results”, perpetuates the myth and the generally accepted idea that the election was fair and legitimate. This is how they maintain the lie, using the power of the State. I hope a lot of people saw dinesh d’souza’s “2000 mules”, which provides evidence of widespread election fraud–enough to have swung the election toward the illegitimate “winner”. You can now buy the film thru rumble and show it to as many as possible
What gets me is President Trump wanted National Guards to be there at the Capital on January 6th , but Nancy Pelosi and the Wacko D.C. Mayor denied this request from the President of The United States . Explain to me how this is President Trumps fault . After watching the Justice Kavanaugh confirmation hearings I will never believe another liberal scumbag democrap EVER . Also explain how the young woman shot and killed ( murdered ) inside the Capital was covered up . Explain how riots and looting through out the United Dtates , especially in Democrap cities were never investigated . Is there anyone you can trust in Congress anymore ? I don’t blame Giuliani for not testifying , can you blame him with all the corruption in that Capital building .
It’s all a political show. Going after everyone that they think has evidence of voting fraud.
Giuliani, does have evidence,, but is smart enough to withhold this evidence to keep it safe out of the hands of the committee
