Giuliani wrongly accuses Clinton of lying about 9/11
Stumping for Donald Trump in Ocala, Florida, on Wednesday, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani told a crowd that Hillary Clinton had falsely claimed to have been in New York on Sept. 11, 2001 - an incorrect claim he took back a few hours later.
"I made a mistake. I'm wrong and I apologize," Giuliani told The Associated Press.
In Florida, addressing what he portrayed as Clinton's past remarks on the subject, Giuliani said: "Don't tell me, if you said that, that you remember Sept. 11, 2001. I remember Sept. 11, 2001. Yes, yes, you helped to get benefits for the people that were injured that day. But I heard her say one day she was there that day. I was there that day. I don't remember seeing Hillary Clinton there."
In fact, she wasn't in New York, but she never claimed to be, either.
On many occasions, Clinton has described being in Washington, DC, on Sept. 11 when hijacked jets struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. She was a member of the Senate at the time, and Congress was in session.
