Giuliani considers launching impeachment podcast

President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani is considering launching a podcast to discuss the public impeachment hearings, CNN reported Monday.

The former New York City mayor was reportedly heard discussing the consideration on Saturday during a lunch with an unidentified person. Recordings of the conversation were provided to CNN, who reported the dialogue included possible dates for the recording and release of episodes, a planned logo and the methods to get the episodes on iTunes and other distributors.

Giuliani’s spokeswoman Christianné Allen confirmed to CNN the former mayor talked about the podcast idea at lunch Saturday. 

“Many Americans want to hear directly from Rudy Giuliani,” Allen said. “He is considering several options, in consultation with Jay Sekulow and the legal team, regarding the best way to move forward. As of now, they have not decided on the strategy but are getting very close.”

Witnesses for the initial impeachment hearings behind closed doors have named Giuliani as a central figure in the controversial dealings between the White House and Ukraine that started the impeachment inquiry. 

Meanwhile, two of Giuliani’s business partners, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who assisted the former mayor in his campaign to push Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, are under federal indictment on campaign finance allegations. 

A whistleblower report alleged Trump asked the Ukrainian president to look into the Bidens as a way to get an advantage in the 2020 election originally sparked the House impeachment inquiry. In a July 25 phone call, Trump told the Ukrainian president to coordinate with Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr on announcing the probe.
