George Conway on Friday mocked Rudy Giuliani’s defense against claims President Donald Trump committed campaign finance violations during the 2016 presidential election when he allegedly directed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to make hush-money payments to women who said they had affairs with the then-Republican nominee.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, except where nobody gets killed or robbed,” Conway, an attorney and the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway wrote on Twitter in response to a statement Giuliani gave to the Daily Beast.
“Nobody got killed, nobody got robbed… This was not a big crime,” Giuliani said. “I think in two weeks they’ll start with parking tickets that haven’t been paid.”
Cohen, who earlier this week was sentenced to three years in prison for financial crimes, lying to Congress and two campaign finance violations, on Friday told ABC News Trump directed him to pay off the women because he was concerned about how their stories “would affect the election.”
