"I think what it says about his character is that he's a flawed human being," Giuliani said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "He has his set of flaws and I have mine. I guess there are a few perfect people but in my view there's only been one and that was Jesus Christ."

Trump has been under near-constant fire from within his own party since the Washington Post published a tape of him bragging, in sexually explicit terms, about his treatment of women in 2005.
