FBI agents interviewed Rudy Giuliani earlier this year regarding his foreshadowing of a "surprise or two" two weeks ahead of the 2016 presidential election, HuffPost reports.
"That's all they asked about: What was I talking about in terms of 'surprise'?" Giuliani said. "What was I talking about when I was talking about new information?"
Giuliani, who now represents President Donald Trump in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe, also said he never received leaked information from an active FBI agent the bureau would reopen its investigation into Hillary Clinton and her use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State.
"I never got a leaked information from any FBI agent," Giuliani told Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network. "I haven't talked to an on-duty FBI agent, except for background checks, in a couple years. That information [DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz] is talking about came from retired FBI agents who were speculating about what was going to go on."
"We knew it would blow up," Giuliani said, referring to himself and former FBI agents he had spoken to.
"We knew just by instinct that the New York office was enraged by what Comey had done. Now you can see that we were right with the Horowitz report. What I was talking about in terms of 'surprise,' was a speech we were preparing for the president to give, on the Friday before the election, like Ronald Reagan did. We were going to probably buy it the day before, go on national television, and we were going to hit Hillary on all that stuff, I was as surprised as anyone."
FBI Director Christopher Wray during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee said his office was "aggressively investigating a number of leaks" but offered no additional details.
