On Friday, Giuliani told the Huffington Post that “Trump denied the merger [between AT&T and Time Warner].” That was news to many, as the stance of the White House for the last few months has been that Trump has had no hand at all in the merger, a consolidation which the Department of Justice is suing to block.

In the interest of damage control, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders reiterated the White House’s position Saturday morning, “The Department of Justice denied the deal,” she told CNN.

Giuliani was then forced to backtrack, telling CNN that Trump “didn’t interfere” with the Justice Department’s case. According to Giuliani, what he was trying to say was that the $600,000 payment AT&T made to Michael Cohen’s LLC did not sway Trump to act in the corporation’s favor.
