Rudy Giuliani says Mueller probe 'might get cleaned up' with 'presidential pardons' in light of Paul Manafort going to jail

In one of his most forceful attacks on the special counsel yet, Rudy Giuliani on Friday claimed the Russia investigation could get "cleaned up" with pardons from President Trump in light Paul Manafort being sent to jail.

"When the whole thing is over, things might get cleaned up with some presidential pardons," the former New York mayor told the Daily News.

Giuliani's stunning remark came hours after a Washington, D.C., judge revoked Manafort's bail and ordered him to remain behind bars while awaiting his September trial on charges relating to his shady pro-Russian business dealings in Ukraine. The ruling came after Robert Mueller's investigators alleged Manafort had attempted to tamper with witnesses in the Russia investigation.

Giuliani, who worked as a federal prosecutor for nearly a decade, claimed he had seen no evidence to warrant Manafort being sent to jail.

Rudy Giuliani has reportedly walked-back his claim that President Trump will clean up his former campaign manager's legal troubles with pardons, says CNN's Geoff Bennett.

Giuliani had told the New York Daily News that the Mueller probe "might get cleaned up" by presidential pardons.

According to Bennett, Giuiliani has now told NBC's Kristen Welker that Trump "is not going to pardon anyone as far as I know and it would be against everybody's advice, including my own."

Welker did not tweet the quote herself.
