Rudy Giuliani, one of President Donald Trump’s lawyers, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday night that the president fired James Comey because Comey refused to tell Trump he wasn’t under investigation as part of the Russia probe. Giuliani’s comments contradicted the White House’s official position on firing Comey, which was his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Giuliani also called Comey a “disgraceful liar.”
