- Date: 10th October 2019
- Summary: NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (FILE - SEPTEMBER 24, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) RUDY GIULIANI, LAWYER FOR U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SAYING: "What they accused the President of doing, Obama has done multiple times, but much worse. He made private money off it. They're going to have to investigate him now, unless they are completely hypocritical. And we've actually ended up in a country, in which the media supports one standard for Republicans, investigate them for everything, including false charges, and another standard for Democrats, which is they can destroy emails, you can take billions from a foreign country while you're vice-president, you can take hundreds of millions from Russia when you're get secretary of state. It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat, you can break any law you want. You're going to be protected by the media."
