WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rudy
Giuliani, who served as former U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal
attorney, met for more than nine hours on Friday with the House
committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, CNN
reported, citing two sources. |

Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City, had previously
refused to appear before the panel unless his testimony was
videotaped, his attorney Robert Costello said earlier this
month. The committee said at the time that Giuliani had agreed
to a transcribed interview.
Costello and the committee did not immediately respond to
requests for comment from Reuters on the CNN report.
The committee is trying to establish Trump's actions while
thousands of his supporters stormed the Capitol in January of
last year, sending members of Congress and then-Vice President
Mike Pence rushing to take cover.
Congress had been meeting to formally certify Democrat Joe
Biden's victory over Republican Trump in the November 2020
presidential election.
More than 900 people, including many Trump White House aides,
have been interviewed in the committee's investigation.
