Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!

CNN — Sunday found President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani back on TV, while speaking to CNN’s State of the Union host Jake Tapper, Giuliani explained that President Trump never told former FBI director James Comey to “go easy,” or “give Flynn a break,” referencing former national security adviser Michael Flynn who has taken a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, and is said to be cooperating with the Russian investigation. 

The News Blender — In April of 2018 former FBI director James Comey’s memos and emails he’d gathered after meetings with President Trump became public soon after the DOJ released the redacted information to Congress. Comey states that once during a phone call President Trump asked him to, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” (h/t to Last one standing)
