Chris Wallace, Rudy Giuliani get into heated exchange over investigations into Trump

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace and President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Sunday found themselves in a heated exchange over the federal investigations into the president, with Wallace at one point telling Giuliani, "I’m asking you for the truth, sir."
Wallace and Giuliani wrangled over the former New York City mayor's talking points after a week in which Trump's ex-lawyer and "fixer" Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison.
Cohen, as well as federal prosecutors, has claimed he violated campaign finance laws at the direction of Trump. Cohen's violations stem in part from payments he made to two women, adult-film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who were alleging 2006 affairs with Trump ahead of the 2016 election.
"According both to Cohen and to [National Enquirer publisher David] Pecker ... they say they were in a meeting with Donald Trump in the summer of 2016 in which they discussed the payment to Karen McDougal," Wallace said to Giuliani.
