Rudy Giuliani backs out of interview with Capitol attack committee

Former Trump lawyer was expected to appear at the interview on Friday, but canceled when the panel denied his request to record it

Donald Trump's former attorney Rudy Giuliani is not expected to appear at an interview scheduled for Friday with the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, throwing into jeopardy the prospect of his cooperation, say sources familiar with the matter.

The move by Giuliani to cancel his appearance after the panel declined his request to record the interview means it may not secure documents and testimony from a central figure in Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election in time for public hearings in June.
