Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of new York, and now the lawyer for Donald trump, said that «truth is not the truth.»
Defender of the President said he will not allow the special counsel to Robert Muller in the investigation of Russian interference in the elections in 2016 to force his client to testify, «lest he fall into the trap of false witness».
«When you say to me, «you Know, he needs to testify, because he is going to tell the truth, and he should not worry», in fact it is so stupid. Because it is someone’s version of the truth, not the truth,» said Giuliani in a Sunday interview on NBC leading show Meet the Press Chuck Todd.
«The truth is the truth,» Todd said in response.
«No, no, that’s not true, — said Giuliani. Truth is not the truth.»
«The truth is not true? — asked the puzzled interlocutor. — Mr. mayor… I Think this is a bad meme».
«No, no, no … don’t do this to me,» said Giuliani.
«Then don’t, «the Truth is not true»,» continued Todd.

«Donald trump says: «I’m not talking about [former Advisor for national security Michael] Flynn [then-FBI Director James] Komi». Komi said, “He talked about it.” So tell me, what is the truth,» said his position Giuliani.
In August trump’s lawyer has stated that the President never talked to Komi Republic on the termination of the investigation of Michael Flynn’s relations with Russia, contrary to the claims of the former head of the FBI.
On the same day Komi responded to the words of the lawyer of the President: «Truth exists and truth matters. The truth has always been the cornerstone of the judicial system and political life of our country. People who lie, for it otvetstvuet».
Truth exists and truth matters. Truth has always been the touchstone of our country’s justice system and political life. People who lie are held accountable. If we are untethered to truth, our justice system cannot function and a society based on the rule of law dissolves.
