Washington (CNN) Rudy Giuliani denied Monday that the disclosure by Donald Trump's attorneys that the President dictated a crucial statement on the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting -- a reversal from past denials -- constituted a lie, instead claiming it was a routine mistake. "It was a mistake," Giulani, a lawyer for Trump in the Russia investigation, said on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time" Monday. "I swear to God, it was a mistake." The meeting -- and Trump's role in the statement -- has become a central focus of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. "I think a mistake was made."
