Rudy Giuliani 'can't tell you if it's 100 percent' false that Trump threatened to cut Ukraine aid

Rudy Giuliani wants to set the record straight by not setting anything straight at all.

The former New York City mayor turned lawyer to President Trump has been making the media rounds to toss some unverified allegations against Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden and his apparent ties to Ukraine. That continued in a Monday morning interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo, during which Giuliani referred to Hunter Biden as "the guy who is drug challenged" and said he couldn't fully deny a reported threat Trump made to the Ukraine.

Reports in the last week have maintained Trump allegedly threatened to cut off aid to Ukraine if it didn't investigate Hunter Biden and potentially find an attack he could use against the Biden 2020 campaign. Giuliani on Monday said a report of a funding cutoff was a "false story," but when Bartiromo asked if it was "100 percent," Giuliani said "well, I can't tell you if it's 100 percent."

Bartiromo went on to accuse the media of "not covering" the alleged scandal between the Bidens and Ukraine, though Giuliani corrected her. He then said he'd be releasing "a lot more evidence" against the Bidens over the next few days.
