It seems Rudy Giuliani might’ve spoken out of turn once again, because he’s walking back his statements about President Donald Trump getting involved in the merger negotiations between AT&T and Time Warner.
Yesterday, the president bashed the “fake news” media while reacting to AT&T’s statement that it regrets paying $600,000 to his embattled personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. In the midst of all this, Giuliani continued his ongoing press tour by telling HuffPost that the president was behind the Justice Department’s efforts to halt the AT&T-Time Warner merger.
That comment set off alarm bells over the DOJ’s independence from the White House, as well as the possibility that Trump was interfering in U.S. markets — so Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders came out to tell reporters a different story.

Now it appears Giuliani is doubling back and telling CNN’s Dana Bash that Trump didn’t actually interfere with the merger talks.

Do something he wasn't supposed to do, deny it when confronted, then lie when asked to explain further.
Every time we'd point out something that didn't make sense about his lies or was contradicted by obvious facts, he'd say he was only joking and quickly come up with a different lie.
He learned his lessons well and lies much more effectively now
