Rudy Giuliani exploded at a reporter for "lying" during a fiery question-and-answer with journalists, where he accused the media of exposing Donald Trump's lawyers to death threats through "ridiculous" coverage.

Broadcaster Dean Butler and TVNZ host Hayley Holt join The Weekend Collective to discuss this, along with more issues making news this week.
