Rudy Giuliani and CNN’s Chris Cuomo discussed the blockbusting New York Times anonymous op-ed from a “senior White House official” in a CNN interview Wednesday night.

WATCH:

“Well number one, I don’t know how much of it to believe. Is it a Trump appointee? Is he in the White House? Is he phonying it up? How much is the Times complicit?” Giuliani stated.

“The New York Times is complicit? You think they’d risk their reputation on a kill shot like this if it was proven to be false?” Cuomo rebutted.

Giuliani began laughing.

“Oh no, I don’t think so,” the president’s lawyer added sarcastically.

Cuomo shot back, “That’s a heavy charge, I [have] to tell you.”

The NYT op-ed they were discussing is titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” and it was published on Wednesday.

It stated that, “many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.”
