He also told the Times that he did not pursue a pardon through Mr Giuliani because he could not afford to pay him $2 million. Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for and adviser to Mr Giuliani, told The Independent in an email that the former New York mayor “unequivocally denies the allegations raised by Ms Dunphy”. The Independent has reached out to Mr Trump’s team for comment.
