Rudy Giuliani, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows are denying allegations that theyIn bombshell testimony Tuesday before the House committee investigating the deadly attack, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Meadows, said under oath that both men had asked about pardons for themselves.A spokesperson for Meadows said Wednesday that “Meadows never sought a pardon and never planned to.
In a statement shared late Tuesday by his lawyer, Robert Costello, Giuliani said: “Not only didn’t I ever request a pardon. I told my client, President Trump, that if I was offered a pardon, I would turn it down. Since I had done nothing wrong, there was no need for a pardon.” Giuliani, one of the most prominent supporters of Trump’s stolen election lies, gave a more confusing account Wednesday on Twitter, saying Hutchinson was a"reckless liar" who"was never present when I asked for a pardon."
