In an interview aired Sunday, President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani accused Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team of intimidating and pressuring witnesses, the Hill reports. According to Giuliani, Mueller is pressuring two key witnesses in the probe, former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort, and the president's former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.
Notably, echoing Donald Trump, Giuliani trashed Mueller's probe calling it a "witch hunt," accusing Robert Mueller and his team of acting like God.
"This isn't a search for the truth. It's a witch hunt. This is what is wrong with these special prosecutors and independent counsels. They think they are God."
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, former Obama administration official Neal Katyal predicted that Michael Cohen's guilty plea could spell the end of Donald Trump's presidency, following news that Cohen pleaded guilty to making false statements to Congress. Cohen's decision to cooperate with Mueller, according to Katyal, could be a game-changer for Mueller's probe. But according to Rudy Giuliani, Cohen was pressured and intimidated, which means that his testimony is not valid.
