President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani denies allegations of an anonymous whistleblower complaint that stated the president made an unspecified “promise” to a foreign leader and instead pointed a finger at Joe Biden’s son Hunter as the main culprit in two massive money-laundering deals.

Giuliani spoke out at the Fox News Sunday show hosted by John Roberts on Sept. 22.  He denied allegations the goal of his visit to Ukraine was to find incriminating evidence to smear Biden and his 2020 presidential bid.

“What they’re trying to say is I went there for a political mission to kind of get Joe Biden in trouble. Ridiculous, I went there as a lawyer defending his client,” Giuliani said. “I got a nice straight case of Ukrainian collusion, and the minute I say ‘Biden’ the Washington press corps is going to go nuts. They’ve been covering it up for years.”

Giuliani claims to have evidence that Biden’s son Hunter took $1.5 million from the Ukrainian Natural Gas company of which he was a board member in an exchange for billions of dollars the Obama administration wired to the country, as he also highlighted on Twitter:

But Giuliani had more. “I have all the contacts between Democrats and the Ukraine and John, when the rest of this comes out, and we look at China and the $1.5 billion that the Biden family took out of China while that guy was negotiating for us, this will be a lot bigger than Spiro Agnew,” Giuliani said.

Without going into specifics, Giuliano added: “These are very important things that have been covered up to protect slimy Joe,” Giuliani added. “This is going to get bigger and bigger, and everything I say I can prove. Take me on.”

The Fox News Sunday show came after the heated showdown Giuliani had with CNN host Chris Cuomo in a one-on-one interview on Sept. 19 as they battled over allegations of an anonymous whistleblower complaint involving the president and Ukraine, The Epoch Times reported.

The pair clashed after Giuliani initially denied asking for an investigation into Biden. He then went on to say, “I found out this incredible story about Joe Biden, that he bribed the president of the Ukraine (sic) in order to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son.”

“So you did ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden,” Cuomo asked, to which Giuliani responded, “Of course I did.”

Giuliani’s CNN appearance came as tensions grew over reports from The Washington Post late on Sept. 18 that said Trump made an unspecified “promise” to a foreign leader, which reportedly prompted an unidentified official within the intelligence community to file a whistleblower complaint.
