Donald Trump’s personal attorney and former NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani appeared to threaten to sue Fox News host Steve Hilton, for branding him as part of “the swamp.”
During the most recent broadcast of his “Next Revolution” Fox News show, Hilton, a frequent Trump supporter, confessed, “There’s a swamp going on with the commercial interest of Rudy Giuliani… He’s going around trying to make business deals out of the Ukraine situation, at the same time as acting for his client, President Trump. He’s trying to make money off his relationship with President Trump.”
Hilton then went on to call the former New York City mayor “toxic” and an “unethical disaster.”
In response, Giuliani tweeted that he was “outraged” by Hilton’s remarks, adding in another post, “Lawyers tell me @SteveHiltonx is a wild card and I should sue him for libel. He recklessly disregarded the truth!”
The former mayor who has been at the center of the Ukraine controversy, also tweeted, “I have not taken a penny for representing my friend, President Trump. I am outraged that @SteveHiltonx reported that I was trying to pursue private business deals in Ukraine to ‘enrich’ myself when in reality I have made ZERO in Ukraine! Very lazy reporting!”
Giuliani has also said in recent interviews, that since representing Trump, he has “considered and turned down all deals in Ukraine, even those not presenting a conflict.”
But, none of that spared the former mayor from Hilton’s unbridled rant.
“This week, we learn more disturbing details about Rudy’s role. It turns out that the former mayor’s own personal business interests are wrapped up in all of this,” he said. “To put it simply, he’s been trying to enrich himself on the back of his relationship with President Trump. And you know what, I’m just fed up with the lot of them.”
Hilton said Giuliani “was a great mayor and a great leader, but he’s turned into an unmitigated, and now it seems, unethical disaster.”
He also accused Giuliani’s associates of “taking advantage of the president to do dodgy deals in the world’s shadiest places.”
To which Giuliani tweeted in response, “If it wasn’t for me, @SteveHiltonx wouldn’t even be covering Burisma. He sure didn’t cover it for the THREE YEARS it was in front of his face. He should apologize for his maliciousness and thank me for the story!”
Just another example of the way news media has become. It is about time someone start suing the fake news folks. Maybe, just maybe they’ll learn a lesson. Go Rudi
He should give an on air apology to Guliannii was shocked when he did this he usually remarks in support of Trump.i believe this was in direct response to the leadership of Fox News that desires to silence Trump on Air Supporters
Dont threaten just do it. I am so sick of republicans letting liberals get away with crap I want to beat the crap out of a Republican! Sue the fox news host, put hillary in jail, put schiff in jail, put Miller in jail, put omar in jail put AOC in jail, put both bidens in jail, put obama in Jail. They are all criminals but you stupid repo licens have no balls and are too damn tolerant of the completely intolerant liberals.
Hot that right why are the ovey tenant Republicans so tolerant bbn of the completely intolerant liberal, LGBTQ, progressive community. They should be tossing these criminals in jail constantly. Especially that antifa thug fascist group.
What do you expect he is against Trump no matter what he say’s distorts for personal gain himself . Sounds like another Democratic tactic . If he can not report on both sides hr needs to be removed.
I have always liked Steve Hiltons pro Trump agenda. I find it hard to believe that he would go off on a rant against Rudy Giuliani without hard facts. Personally I believe Rudy Giuliani and what he has been doing on the behalf of of President Trump. Steve you may have put yourself in a real trickbox.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Their hatred of President Donald Trump is the most important detail of this absurd impeachment charge and they think that is enough without any evidence that warrants it. They hate that he is bringing the economy to the greatest point in recent history, trying to stop illegals ( their voters) from just coming into our country committing crimes including murders and the liberal Democrats turn them loose to kill again. Trump has changed the way our country has been taken advantage of with trade deals, so that we the people are getting the best deals and not letting all these countries push us to accept the absurd deals. Maybe it’s because of the favors and corruption on the part of the Swamp they have gotten in the past ! This is all leading to the point of that we need TERM LIMITS so that these liberal democrats pushing impeachment don’t think they have superior power to do what they want and screw our people and country for their benefit. Stay strong Mr. President ( my president) and continue to bring our country back to the greatness we have had in the past ! And thank YOU and your family, especially the First Lady, for enduring the absurd treatment that all of you have endured and don’t deserve !!
