Rudy Giuliani says he does not agree with President Donald Trump's charge that special counsel Robert Mueller acted "honorably" while he investigated Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election during a wide-ranging interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN on Tuesday.
"I have a mixed view," Giuliani told "The Situation Room." "I think he did some very fine things, and I think they straightened out some very difficult situations. . . . I thought their treatment of Manafort was way over the top. I think that shouldn't be allowed."
"I would have to disagree with my client," that Mueller acted honorably, he added.
Trump's personal lawyer also suggested CNN should apologize for unfair coverage of the president during the Mueller probe, saying "after two years of saying collusion, collusion, collusion . . . he was exonerated on collusion."
Trump was cleared of collusion by Mueller, who turned in his report to the Department of Justice on Friday.
When Blitzer asked about the issue of Russian interference and why Trump "refuses to still accept," the intelligence community's assessment that Moscow was involved, Giuliani answered: "I have no reason to believe he doesn't accept those."
