Via Sky News:
Donald Trump’s lawyer has said “the American people would revolt” if the president was impeached.
In an interview with Sky News Rudy Giuliani claimed there was “no reason” for an impeachment and called Mr Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen “a liar”.
“You could only impeach [Trump] for political reasons and the American people would revolt against that,” he said.[…]
The evidence that Mr Trump had been involved in hush money payments includes a tape recording of a conversation from before the presidential election, in which he and Cohen discuss payment to the Playboy model Karen McDougal.
On Thursday Mr Giuliani denied that the recordings were significant, saying: “The tape recordings say very clearly that Cohen did it on his own, didn’t tell the president until much later.”
He claimed the former lawyer had been “discredited” and would not be able to provide useful information to special counsel Robert Mueller, who is probing accusations of collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.
