WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who along with the president has repeatedly denied that any collusion occurred between Russia and other people in Trump's 2016 campaign, retreated from those earlier broad statements, saying he had no idea whether any aides colluded with Moscow during that time.

Trump and Giuliani have repeatedly and publicly said there was no collusion between Trump's presidential campaign and Russia. But in a television interview with CNN on Wednesday night, Giuliani said, "I never said there was no collusion between the campaign, or between people in the campaign. I have no idea," Giuliani told the cable news network.
