Trump distances himself from indicted Giuliani associates
By Brett Samuels and Morgan Chalfant - 10/10/19 05:04 PM EDT
President Trump said Thursday that he doesn’t know the two business associates of his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani who were arrested on campaign finance charges, but acknowledged he may have been photographed with them at some point.
“I don’t know those gentleman. Now, it’s possible I have a picture with them because I have a picture with everybody,†Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House.
“I don’t know them, I don’t know about them, I don’t know what they do,†Trump added. “I don’t know, maybe they were clients of Rudy’s. You’d have to ask Rudy.â€

Their activities were with a couple of independent political committees and a couple of Congress Critters. None were named, suggesting that the committees and Congress Critters were unaware the donations were in violation of Federal law. That said, their activities appear not to have any connection to Trump. Similarly, Giuliani may not have been aware of their activities.
At this point it looks like any MSM or Dems who try to attack Trump or Giuliani through this will come up with a load of Whomp-Whomp.
Guilt by association doesn't work. E.G. a family friend, decades ago, attempted to kill his wife. However, we didn't learn this was what happened until years later.
Since info about the case is on the Internet and she is still alive, I won't give any more details.
