President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, thinks Congress' probe into the president is wrong, and he wants to sue those behind it.

Speaking with Fox News' Laura Ingraham on Tuesday night, Giuliani proposed bringing a lawsuit against House Democrats for investigating the president in the wake of revelations involving Trump's interactions with Ukraine. The House launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump after it was revealed he had asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up dirt on Democratic 2020 contender Joe Biden.

Congressional oversight of the presidency is one of the most fundamental pillars of American government, but Giuliani thinks Congress' actions violate Trump's constitutional rights.

"They are doing extraordinary things. For example, they are violating theyre interfering with the president in exercising his rights under Article II: The president United States conducts the foreign policy of the United States," Giuliani said. "They're calling foreign leaders. They are going to foreign capitals."

"This is worse than McCarthy!" he later added, presumably referring to Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

Article II of the Constitution grants the president the "power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur. Trump's conversation with Zelensky, as well as Giuliani's engagement with Ukrainian officials on behalf of Trump, deeply troubled members of Congress and veteran intelligence officials for possibly using foreign policy for personal political gain.

Ingraham appeared skeptical of Giuliani's proposal, noting members of Congress have immunity for anything they say on the floor. "It's novel," she said of Giuliani's proposal.


Someone might want to remind him that "conducting foreign policy" needs to fall within legal parameters.
