SUMMARY: In an interview with Rudy Giuliani, ABC News' Jake Tapper let Giuliani claim,
without challenge, that "[t]he mistake" he made in "appointing [Bernard Kerik]
police commissioner [and] Department of Corrections chair," "was not getting the
information" that Kerik had ties to Interstate Industrial, a company with
suspected connections to organized crime. However, in April 2006, Giuliani
reportedly "acknowledged" in "testimony to a state grand jury" that "the city
investigations commissioner ... had told him that he had been briefed at least
once" about Kerik's connections to the company.
