Giuliani: Mueller's Team Trying to Frame Trump

by Associated Press

   JERUSALEM --

   Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani says special counsel Robert
   Mueller's team is trying to frame President Trump.

   Giuliani, who has been serving as Trump's lawyer amid the Russia
   scandal, says Wednesday in Israel that Mueller's team includes "13
   highly partisan Democrats ... [who] are trying very very hard to frame
   him to get him in trouble when he hasn't done anything wrong."
   Speaking to the Globes capital market conference in Tel Aviv, Giuliani
   says Trump has the power to pardon himself but won't because he is
   innocent.
   It was the latest in Giuliani's often contradictory comments
   surrounding the probe into Russia's potential meddling in U.S
   elections.
   Giuliani has become a lightning rod during his tenure on Trump's team,
   drawing the president's ire for a series of scattershot interviews.
