President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani compared Joe Biden’s defense of his conduct toward Ukraine when he was vice president to that of a mob boss.
Giuliani has alleged Biden bribed Ukraine to lay off investigating a natural gas firm that employed his son Hunter Biden.
Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, has requested phone transcripts between Biden and Ukraine’s leader before a top prosecutor was fired, who was alleged to have investigated the natural case company that employed the younger Biden.
“Trump is now essentially holding power over him that even the Ukrainians wouldn’t yield to. Lindsey is about to go down in a way I think he’s going to regret his whole life,” Biden said in a recent interview.
Giuliani said Biden’s comments “sounds like a poor imitation of The Godfather.”
“This is the guy who sent out a decree that they should keep me off television,” Giuliani told Fox News on Saturday.
“Every other week, he wants to get into a fistfight with the president. When he’s asked about all of these conflicts and all of this money made by his family selling his office, he says I don’t know my family’s business. He says it so often, he’s starting to sound like ... Corleone in The Godfather.”
Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign demanded that network executives keep Giuliani off air, arguing that he was making misleading comments about the Biden family and Ukraine.
Despite Giuliani’s claims, no evidence has surfaced that Biden intentionally tried to help his son.
Giuliani has been at the center of the impeachment proceedings against Trump for his efforts in pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and 2016 election interference.
