Former Donald Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Friday claimed that he is innocent and warned that federal prosecutors would suffer consequences in the afterlife if he was sent to jail.
“I committed no crime, and if you think I committed a crime, you’re probably really stupid, because you don’t know who I am,” Giuliani told reporter Melissa Russo, who met with him at the World Trade Center Memorial to tape a segment for an upcoming story on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Is the guy who put the mafia in jail, terrorists in jail, Ed Koch’s commissioners in jail, and the worst people on Wall Street — I’m not going to file (a form)? I mean, that’s just crazy,” Giuliani insisted.
Russo reported that “it was clear that also weighing heavily on the former mayor is fallout from the recent election and the fact that he’s still facing that criminal investigation,” adding that the Giuliani “seems fixated on declaring his innocence as a federal investigation looms into whether he was working as an unregistered lobbyist for Ukrainian officials.”
“I committed no crime, and if you think I committed a crime, you’re probably really stupid, because you don’t know who I am,” Giuliani claimed. “Is the guy who put the mafia in jail, terrorists in jail, Ed Koch’s commissioners in jail, and the worst people on Wall Street — I’m not going to file (a form)? I mean, that’s just crazy.”
He then warned prosecutors would suffer consequences in the afterlife if he was sent to jail.
“I am more than willing to go to jail if they want to put me in jail. And if they do, they’re going to suffer the consequences in heaven. I’m not, I didn’t do anything wrong,” he claimed.
