‘He does this out of love’: Trump praises ‘crime fighter’ Rudy Giuliani after his latest trip to Ukraine

President Trump commended his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani after being asked about the former New York City mayor’s latest trip to Ukraine.

During a roundtable economic discussion with several Republican governors on Monday, a reporter asked the president if Giuliani spoke to him about his recent visit to Ukraine. Giuliani visited the country at the beginning of the month and met with a KGB-trained lawmaker, Andrii Derkach, as he continues his effort to dig up information about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Trump denied that he has spoken to Giuliani since his trip but praised his efforts, calling the former U.S. attorney a “great crime fighter.”

“He’s a very great crime fighter. He was probably the greatest crime fighter over the last 50 years, very smart. He was the best mayor in the history of the city of New York,” Trump said.
