Donald Trump’s army of surrogates, led by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, went into battle on Sunday as the president sought to fight back against a rapidly intensifying impeachment inquiry. Giuliani, who also appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation, also attacked the anonymous whistleblower at the center of the impeachment process and the Democrats leading it. On ABC, Giuliani denied that he had set out, at the president’s behest, to mine for dirt in Ukraine on Joe Biden, a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. Fox News Sunday also reported that Giuliani “was not the only attorney trying to get damaging information on Joe Biden from Ukrainian officials”. A new CBS News poll found that 55% of Americans approve of the decision to open an impeachment inquiry.
