Rudy Giuliani was described as "walking malpractice" by a GOP senator.
Lee sent a text to Robert O'Brien after getting a message from Giuliani.
In the message, Giuliani called for the delay of Congress' certification of Biden's win.
Rudy Giuliani was described as "walking malpractice" by Republican Sen. Mike Lee in a late night text.
The full report on the Capitol siege was released late Thursday.
It's impossible to make this up. I received a voice message from Rudy Giuliani, who thought he was talking to Senator Tuberville. You have to listen to it. Rudy is negligent.
Giuliani tried to contact several lawmakers before Congress resumed its session to certify Joe Biden's win in the election.
The text to O'Brien was buried in the endnote of the report. He sent a text to O'Brien at 10:45 pm. The endnote states that it will be on January 6.
It's one of dozens of times Giuliani is mentioned in the committee's report, which paints a damning portrait of how the former New York mayor and his cohort relied on dubious and conspiratorial theories to try to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.
Bill Stepien, Trump's 2020 campaign manager, told the committee that he was so uncomfortable with Giuliani's antics that he locked him out of his office.
Stepien said he told her not to let anyone in. I will be here when I need to be. Tell me what you know. You're going to see less of me if you don't tell me what's happening here. Mayor Giuliani tried to get in my office and ordered her to open the door but she didn't do that.
Some of the claims made by Giuliani and his allies were so crazy that even Trump couldn't believe them.
According to the committee's report, there was one phone call between Trump and Sidney Powell, who worked for Giuliani.
Powell made baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud during the phone call, one of which was that the voting tech company had colluded with the late Hugo Chavez to help Biden win the election.
According to testimony from Trump's top communications aide, the president kept quiet while Powell talked about the allegations. Trump laughed at Powell and told others in the room that it sounded crazy.
A Washington, DC, ethics panel is reviewing Giuliani's efforts to overturn the election.
His conduct after the election was so serious that it should never happen again.
The DC Board of Professional Responsibility found that Giuliani violated an ethics rule when he filed a legal challenge to throw out millions of votes in Pennsylvania. The decision is not binding and the hearing committee will make a report with a final recommendation.
Giuliani accused the counsel of engaging in a personal attack without presenting proper evidence. He told Robert Bernius that Fox's statements were outrageous.
