Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has accused Hillary Clinton of lying about her response to the 9/11 attacks.

Addressing Donald Trump supporters at a rally on Wednesday, he said he “doesn’t remember” seeing Hillary Clinton following the attacks on the twin towers even though he was photographed right next to her at Ground Zero.

Giuliani said the Democratic presidential candidate did not belong in the “very, very tight group of ‘Never Forget’” because she “lied” about being present at the site of the 9/11 attacks.

“I remember Sept. 11, 2001. Yes, you helped to get benefits for the people who were injured that day. But I heard her say she was there that day. I was there that day. I don’t remember seeing Hillary Clinton there. That was like when she said she had to run through gunfire. That turned out to be — what do we call it? A lie!” He said.

Clinton, a New York senator at the time,  had told CNN last month that she was in Washington DC on Sept 11, 2001, when terrorists attacks happened. She flew to New York City and toured the site of the attacks on September 12.

Further, she told CNN it was her “job and the job of other officials to get our city and state and country what we needed.”  Rudy Giulani was at her side that day.
