From The Hill: "Giuliani was not the first to raise this defense. Trump was. This is just the first time that some in the media acknowledged it."

From Washington Post: "You know it's gotten bad when the president is required to do damage control for his lawyer."

3. Too Bad Rudy Doesn't Lie as Well as Trump

From New York Times: "The story Giuliani told Sean Hannity is messy and convoluted and falls apart when you spell it out."
