Beyond parody.

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani is known for making constant gaffes in attempts to defend his client.

He's admitted to potential crimes on the air, claimed that "truth isn't truth," and otherwise routinely demonstrated his ineptitude, but his most recent blunder might just top them all.


Giuliani butt-dialed an NBC reporter not once, but twice, leaving two different voicemails.

After expressing the need to send the other participant in the conversation to Bahrain, Giuliani says:

“The problem is we need some money. [silence passes] We need a few hundred thousand."

Little is known about the full conversation, including names mentioned and what exactly is supposed to happen in Bahrain, but we're sure talented reporters are already scouring for the sc
