SO THIS HAPPENED TODAY: Trump asked me how to legally create ‘Muslim ban’ said Giuliani:
Mark Moore writes.
Rudy Giuliani said Donald Trump asked him to work out how he could legally implement a “Muslim ban.”
“He called me up, he said, ‘Put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally,’” the former mayor, who has been advising President Trump, said on “Fox News” Saturday.
Giuliani then said he put a panel together that included former federal Judge Michael Mukasey, Rep. Peter King and Texas Rep. Michael McCaul to come up with a plan that placed the emphasis on threats not religion.
“And what we did was we focused on, instead of religion, danger,” Giuliani said.
“The areas of the word that create danger for us, which is a factual basis, not a religious basis. Perfectly legal, perfectly sensible,” he added.
The president signed an executive order on Friday that bans indefinitely refugees from Syria from entering the US and for 90 days immigrants from seven predominately Muslim countries – Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya.
