Giuliani’s statement tells us a lot about what’s worrying Team Trump

Speaking to reporters Friday morning, President Trump offered assurances that former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, newly added to his legal team, would soon answer outstanding questions about the October 2016 payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels. Giuliani had joined the team only “yesterday,” Trump said, and the former mayor would soon “get his facts straight,” implying that Giuliani’s facts, broadcast in various television and print interviews, had missed the mark. Trump promised a clarifying statement from Giuliani, perhaps explaining the vagueness of the timeline that had been offered for how and when Trump repaid his personal attorney Michael Cohen for fronting the cash to keep Daniels from telling her story.
