Giuliani himself had described the idea of Russian collusion as “total fake news.” He said even if some on the campaign did something wrong, there’s “not a single bit of evidence” tying Trump to a Russian hack of Democratic emails. The comments on collusion came after Giuliani was asked about the revelation in court papers that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had shared campaign polling data with an associate the US has tied to Russian intelligence.
