Never mind all those repeated denials

“The attorney general should step in and put these people under investigation,” Giuliani told The News.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe, but the mayor insisted that didn’t matter. “Even if Jeff is recused he’s still responsible for the rule of law in this country,” Giuliani said. “He could really redeem himself by doing that.”

Federal prosecutors have already revealed they obtained “covert” search warrants on multiple email accounts belonging to Cohen, according court filings, there’s no mention of a wiretap.

Prosecutors would have to convince a judge that Cohen was using his phone to commit a crime in order to listen in on calls.

“Obtaining a wiretap on an attorney is so highly unusual that in my nine years as a federal prosecutor I can’t recall anyone obtaining one on a working lawyer,” former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti told The News. “It would have had to be vetted at the highest level of the DOJ.”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday she could not confirm the NBC report.

Sanders said she was unsure of when Trump and Cohen last spoke, and is not privy to Cohen’s work with the President.

Cohen is under investigation for potential campaign finance violations over the Daniels hush payment.

Giuliani stunned political pundits when he went on Fox News Wednesday night and revealed that Trump had reimbursed Cohen.

Trump has previously denied knowing anything about the payment, which was issued 11 days before his election.

Giuliani stressed Wednesday that the money did not come from the campaign, which he said would be the only way it could have violated campaign finance laws.

But government watchdogs disagree.

“Trump’s knowledge (of the payment) puts him on the hook,” Common Cause lawyer Paul Ryan said. “If it’s known, it has to be disclosed, and if it was known and not disclosed that’s a criminal violation."

Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, agreed with that assessment.

“Mr. Trump evidently has participated in a felony, and there must be serious consequences for his conduct and his lies and deception to the American people,” he said.

Trump gave reporters in early April a curt “no” when asked whether he knew about the payment to Daniels, answering other questions with, “You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen.”
