Rudy Giuliani Claims Innocence and Mocks Trump’s Indictment in Rambling Livestream

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani took to Twitter on Tuesday for an 85-minute livestream, where he made various wild claims about former President Donald Trump’s latest indictment. Giuliani is thought to be “Co-Conspirator 1” in the indictment, an attorney who spread knowingly false claims and pursued strategies that Trump’s reelection campaign attorneys would not.

Giuliani began his livestream by summarizing the indictment, claiming that it is not actually an indictment at all. According to him, there isn’t a single fact to prove that Trump or anyone else involved committed anything close to a crime. This statement comes in response to the four federal charges brought against Trump relating to the Capitol riot, as well as accusations of attempting to overturn the 2020 election with six other unnamed co-conspirators.

During his show, Giuliani acknowledged that people have asked him if he was one of the unnamed co-conspirators. In response, he vehemently denied any involvement in illegal activities. Giuliani stressed that if he were a conspirator, it would be for performing completely legal acts. He claimed to have no incriminating information about Trump or anyone else.

“This is very hard to explain to you. This is very difficult for me. And it’s not difficult for me because I am personally involved,” Giuliani said, revealing his frustration with the situation. He expressed his disappointment with the lack of adherence to the rule of law, stating that it was a bad day for those who still believed in the idea of a country governed by laws.

An hour into the livestream, Giuliani also brought up the double standards he believes were applied to him by bar associations while serving as Trump’s lawyer. He expressed his belief that if the same actions were attributed to someone else, there would be an uproar about free speech being violated and accusations of fascist Nazis. Giuliani’s rant caught the attention of his critics on Twitter, who mockingly responded to his claims.

Despite the outward bravado, Giuliani is not only facing legal issues related to Trump’s indictment. Earlier this year, he was accused of rape and sexual abuse by his former employee, Noelle Dunphy. Although Giuliani denies the allegations, new transcripts have revealed lewd remarks made by him towards Dunphy and derogatory comments about Jewish mens’ genitals. He also accused Matt Damon and Michael Bloomberg of being gay in separate instances.

Giuliani’s rambling livestream and his ongoing legal battles have generated public ridicule on social media. Critics reminded him of his infamous press conference in November 2020 where his hair dye ran down his face, suggesting that he might “melt his face off again.” Others sarcastically asked what “Co-conspirator 1” had to say about the situation, while making references to the bizarre press conference held in a landscaping business parking lot instead of the intended luxury hotel.

It remains to be seen how these legal issues will unfold for Giuliani. As he faces accusations and continues to publicly defend himself and Trump, the dynamics surrounding these cases continue to captivate public attention.
