There are lots of strings attached to Rudy Giuliani on the New York Daily News’ latest front page.
The tabloid newspaper depicted President Donald Trump’s personal attorney as being controlled by a puppeteer, Russian President Vladimir Putin, on its cover Friday.
“PUTIN’S PUPPET,” said the main headline.
Below read: “Rudy gets tangled in bizarre Russia-Biden plot.”
The cover story centered on a Washington Post report that U.S. intelligence officials had briefed the White House in 2019 that the former New York City mayor was being targeted by Russia to propagate misinformation to Trump.
The front page was published as footage emerged of Giuliani talking in a mocking Asian accent and his daughter officially endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
The Daily News has previously portrayed Giuliani as one-third of the slapstick comedy trio “The Three Stooges.”
