Johnson: Giuliani’s comments ‘very regrettable’

“And I’m sorry to see statements like that coming from the former mayor whose response to 9/11 in 2001 I admired very much. His response to me is a model for how government leaders should respond in times of crisis,” Johnson said. “I think his most recent statements are very regrettable.”

Giuliani hired Johnson to become a federal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office in New York in the late 1980s. The two also “did the rounds together,” visiting fire stations and police precincts in Manhattan last year, on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Johnson said.
