KRDO’s Afternoon News - January 18, 2021 - ABC's Andy Field

ABC's Andy Field joined Andrew Rogers on KRDO's Afternoon News as President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani apparently won’t be on Trump’s impeachment team. Giuliani, who has been leading the president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl over the weekend that he will not be part of Trump’s legal team for the upcoming Senate impeachment trial due to his involvement in the January 6 rally in Washington, D.C. that led to the attack on the U.S. Capitol building. “Because I gave an earlier speech [at the rally], I am a witness and therefore unable to participate in court or in the Senate chamber,” Giuliani said. Giuliani initially told ABC News he was working on the president’s defense, saying Saturday that he was prepared to argue that the president’s claims of widespread voter fraud did not constitute incitement to violence because the widely-debunked claims are true.
