President Trump on Tuesday denied sending his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine to gather intel on his political foes.

“No, I didn’t direct him,” Trump told former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, according to USA TODAY.

“But you have to understand, Rudy is a great corruption fighter.”

When O’Reilly pushed the president on what business his attorney was conducting in Ukraine, Trump responded: “ask that to Rudy.”

“I know he was going to go to Ukraine, and I think he canceled a trip,” Trump said.

“But you know, Rudy has other clients other than me.”

Giuliani backed up Trump’s claims in a statement.

“He never did and I never did,” Giuliani told the outlet.

“I never went to Ukraine and I was always seeking evidence to defend him against false charges in my role as his lawyer.”

The former New York City mayor did, however, recently confirm that he conducted a personal investigation into Ukraine “collusion and corruption” during the special counsel probe into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

“The investigation I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges, that kept changing as one after another were disproven,” Giuliani tweeted earlier this month.
