President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani on Friday linked Michael Cohen's lawyer Lanny Davis to Russian organized crime and an associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Lanny Davis represents a gentleman named Firtash," Giuliani told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton on "Rising," referring a Russian oligarch.
"He is considered to be one of the close associates of [Semion] Mogilevich, who is the head of Russian organized crime, who is Putin's best friend. Lanny Davis has represented him for four or five years. If the newspapers are correct, he gets $80,000 a month from this guy who's considered to be one of the high-level, Russian organized crime members or associates," he continued.
Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian billionaire, signed on to be represented by Davis's firm, Davis Goldberg & Galpe, in 2016.
Firtash was wanted by the U.S. for his alleged role in an international titanium scheme.
Davis said in a statement to Hill.TV that Giuliani was wrong, and that Firtash was innocent.
"I hate to dignify anything Mr. Giuliani says – he is so different than the man he was when he was Mayor of New York. Dan Webb, a former U.S attorney from Chicago and I are both are criminal defense attorneys for Mr. Firtash, who is an innocent man," Davis said. "Aside from that, Mr. Giuliani gets everything wrong, which is his custom, as we’ve seen over and over again when he lies about Donald Trump.â€
