Politics / Donald Trump Giuliani on Trump's 9/11 Claim: He's Exaggerating Former NYC mayor is the latest person to refute Trump By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Dec 1, 2015 2:28 PM CST Copied Donald Trump talks to Rudy Giuliani at a fundraising event in the Bronx borough of New York, Monday, July 6, 2015.

And as of Tuesday, "everyone" includes Rudy Giuliani, New York mayor when the attacks occurred.
