Rudy Claims He Had No Idea His Ukraine Pal Andriy Derkach Was A Russian Agent
'WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?'
Derkach was sanctioned this week by the U.S. Treasury Department for attempting to interfere in the upcoming U.S. elections by peddling conspiracies on Joe Biden.

“You’re a former prosecutor from the Southern District of New York, a former mayor of New York City, you have a national security firm,” Capehart said. “How could you not know that this person you were talking to was a known Russian agent?“
Giuliani responded by telling Capehart to “calm down,” and pivoted to a Trump team talking point about members of special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s team “wiping” their cell phones after investigating the president’s ties to Russia.
Obviously frustrated with his guest, Capehart at one point told Giuliani he was trying to “pull you out of the weeds and out of the conspiracy theories.”
“I'm trying to understand how someone of your stature and career — what happened to you, Mayor Giuliani?” he asked. “Why are you out here spreading conspiracy theories and lies and interfering with an American election? What happened to you?”
