Rudy Giuliani called President Trump this week to say he had been joking when he said he had an “insurance policy†in case the president turned on him, Giuliani’s attorney told Reuters on Wednesday.
Robert Costello told the news service that he insisted his client make the call after Giuliani said in a televised interview that he had an “insurance policy, if thrown under the bus.â€
Giuliani has claimed the comments were sarcastic but also implied he was referring to possessing incriminating information on former Vice President Joe Biden rather than Trump.
"He shouldn’t joke, he is not a funny guy," Costello told Reuters. "I told him, 'Ten thousand comedians are out of work, and you make a joke. It doesn’t work that way.'"
