Trump and Company Keep Confessing

After returning from a recent trip to Ukraine, Rudy Giuliani deployed an interesting tactic for the president’s personal lawyer: Confessing to the conduct for which Trump is being impeached.

In public statements over the past week, the former New York Mayor flatly admitted that he had pushed Trump to fire former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch because he thought she would complicate his effort to force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch investigations aimed at helping Trump politically. “I believed that I needed Yovanovitch out of the way,” Giuliani told the New Yorker. “She was going to make the investigations difficult for everybody.”
