Giuliani, who advises Trump on terrorism, boasted that, as mayor, he put undercover agents in New York City mosques, according to the report.

“Hillary Clinton, like Senator Schumer, like the entire Senate and House of Representatives, like every Republican and Democrat that I know, was enormously helpful”.
“I would think that’s an excellent idea”, Giuliani told the publication. “You’re on there for a reason”.
“She may have helped the families, but she hasn’t helped our country to avoid another attack like that”, Giuliani said. Both the attackers involved in the killing of a priest in Normandy on Tuesday were already known to French security services and on watch lists, and one was being monitored through an electronic tag.
Giuliani, repeating a line of attack that Trump has used on the campaign trail, criticized Clinton for not holding a campaign news conference in several months.
Giuliani, speaking as part of the rapid-response team Republicans have set up in South Philadelphia to counter messages emanating from the Democratic convention, also said that gathering has shown Democrats were “living in a fantasy world”. “I did it because the 1993 bombing was planned in a mosque in Union City, New Jersey, and a second plan was uncovered to bomb our subways, which was foiled”.

The ex-mayor criticized current Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) for making NY “less safe” as he ended a controversial Muslim surveillance program, including the presence of undercover police officers in mosques – a practice that Giuliani implemented in 1994 following the World Trade Center bombing. A leak revealed that that number had grown to 47,000 as of 2013.
