Guiliani maintained that the Buzzfeed story was "phony" and "scandalous...fake news." However, he said although he had no knowledge of such conversations, the president may have discussed Cohen's testimony with him without directing him to lie.
"If he had any discussions with him, they'd be about the version of the events that Michael Cohen gave them which they all believe was true," Giuliani said.
Giuliani said during a separate appearance on NBCs Meet the Press that he is 100 percent certain that Trump never once asked Cohen to do anything but tell the truth to Congress.
I can tell you his counsel to Michael Cohen throughout that entire period was, Tell the truth. We thought he was telling the truth. I still believe he may have been telling the truth when he testified before Congress, he told host Chuck Todd.
