Donald Trump’s personal attorney and former NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani appeared to threaten to sue Fox News host Steve Hilton, for branding him as part of “the swamp.”
During the most recent broadcast of his “Next Revolution” Fox News show, Hilton, a frequent Trump supporter, confessed, “There’s a swamp going on with the commercial interest of Rudy Giuliani… He’s going around trying to make business deals out of the Ukraine situation, at the same time as acting for his client, President Trump. He’s trying to make money off his relationship with President Trump.”
Hilton then went on to call the former New York City mayor “toxic” and an “unethical disaster.”
In response, Giuliani tweeted that he was “outraged” by Hilton’s remarks, adding in another post, “Lawyers tell me @SteveHiltonx is a wild card and I should sue him for libel. He recklessly disregarded the truth!”
The former mayor who has been at the center of the Ukraine controversy, also tweeted, “I have not taken a penny for representing my friend, President Trump. I am outraged that @SteveHiltonx reported that I was trying to pursue private business deals in Ukraine to ‘enrich’ myself when in reality I have made ZERO in Ukraine! Very lazy reporting!”
Giuliani has also said in recent interviews, that since representing Trump, he has “considered and turned down all deals in Ukraine, even those not presenting a conflict.”
But, none of that spared the former mayor from Hilton’s unbridled rant.
“This week, we learn more disturbing details about Rudy’s role. It turns out that the former mayor’s own personal business interests are wrapped up in all of this,” he said. “To put it simply, he’s been trying to enrich himself on the back of his relationship with President Trump. And you know what, I’m just fed up with the lot of them.”
Hilton said Giuliani “was a great mayor and a great leader, but he’s turned into an unmitigated, and now it seems, unethical disaster.”
He also accused Giuliani’s associates of “taking advantage of the president to do dodgy deals in the world’s shadiest places.”
To which Giuliani tweeted in response, “If it wasn’t for me, @SteveHiltonx wouldn’t even be covering Burisma. He sure didn’t cover it for the THREE YEARS it was in front of his face. He should apologize for his maliciousness and thank me for the story!”
This is how FOXNEWS is drifting to the liberal media side
I like Steve Hilton however his remarks about Giuliani were very much out of order.. NO ONE other than President Trump & his Attorney. Rudy Giuliani know ALL the REAL facts & should be off limits. Fighting the sneaky Left is enough & at the moment are LOSING their ridiculous games of “Impeachment”. They make me physically ill!!!
Steve Hilton is a very unethical person. He has dropped his reputation to FAKE NEWS!
Rudolph Giuliani for too long has been making quite a few comments that are not in the best interests of Trump and making money off of his personal opinions about Trump’s actions is sleazy if he continues to behave in such an irresponsible and stupid fashion he will become as disreputable as a litigator as Michael Avenetti.
Hilton should have never made those statements abuse Guiliani while sitting in a chair representing Fox news.
Hilton is not privileged to all information, therefore he should have left it unsaid.
Giuliani is part of the plot to cause problems for Trump or he is losing his mind he has done and said some very stupid garbage that he knew would hurt Trump
If you’re going make serious charges against someone on a national network, you’d better have, or at least know of, rock solid evidence, Stevie. Besides, who is this Hilton guy?
Never miss the Hilton broadcast (show)…and were totally blown away at the ‘news’ about Rudy Giuliani — we just hope there is solid evidence of such an accusation… otherwise
this is cruel… especially during celebrations of love …..we are honest American people…
Its about Time the Media gets its ass sued off for telling lies and misleading stories.
The media is no longer an asset to the american people or its republic. They are aimed at its destruction and fall.*
Who made Steve Hilton a genius in international politics? Steve Hilton is more like a comic who you just knew would joke about things outside his knowledge, experience. Mr. Hilton (no he’s not in “that” Hilton family) I would advise you to take any big announcements for the news to the director to get them approved prior to you embarrassing your bosses.
That guy is an ass hole saying that. He can’t understand is when you see something rotten you seek the truth .
I am so disappointed in Steve, I always believed that he was a fair minded reporter but this has changed my opinion of him, show me the proof of your mean accusations Steve.
don’t you know these days you really don’t need any kind of any kind of evidence if you don’t believe it pick up any newspaper or watch any newscasts
