Kellyanne Swipes at Giuliani Over Claims About Stormy Payment: I Dont Know Why Anyone Would Say Thatby Aidan McLaughlin | 11:51 am, May 6th, 2018
Margaret Brennan kicked off her interview with White House counselor Kellyanne Conway with a simple question that no one from the administration seems to be able to answer: why is Rudy Giuliani going on television?
-snip-
Why has the president authorized him to speak like this? Brennan asked Conway.
Well the president sent me here today, Conway replied. She continued by defending Trump and Giulianis apparently incongruous statements regarding when the president found out about his personal lawyers payment to Stormy Daniels to silence her about an alleged affair with the president.
In an interview last night on Fox News, Rudy Giuliani said that this payment to Stormy Daniels was in fact a campaign expenditure, Brennan asked. You ran the campaign, is that what you would characterize it as?
I dont know why anyone would say that, Conway said. I would not characterize it that way. The president himself characterized it as not a campaign expenditure. All I can tell is that, as the campaign manager for the winning part of the campaign, this never crossed my desk, she added.
Later in the interview, Brennan asked Conway why Giuliani was dishing on the release of U.S. prisoners from North Korea despite having no idea whether they would be released. Conway said Giuliani was not authorized to talk about that issue.

Kelly Anne looks like she must privately know things are going downhill for tRUMP and this administration and is trying to sell herself! I saw her say in this interview and her interview with Tapper today how she was in charge of the winning part of the campaign. Hey Kelly Anne, you hyping yourself cuz maybe you'll be out of a job soon and will be on the lookout for another??
