Rudy Giuliani cut off a question about Cassidy Hutchinson’s allegation that he groped her backstage at the 2021 “Stop the Steal” rally — angrily calling it “crazy” and “totally absurd.”

Guiliani was being interviewed on Newsmax Wednesday when host Eric Bolling tried to ask about the disturbing allegation in the former Trump aide’s book.

“Completely, absolutely false!” Giuliani, 79, said before Bolling could finish his question.

“Totally absurd. She claimed that I groped her in a tent on Jan. 6, where all the people went in that were very, very cold as a result of the president’s speech … I’m going to grope somebody with 100 people?

“First of all, I’m not going to grope somebody at all. And No. 2, in front of 100 people?”

Giuliani said that he had “extra security” and his “entire staff around me virtually all day.”

“So I brought 10 people to the speech. They were with me at virtually every moment that I was there,” he maintained.

“It’s completely absurd.”

In her new book “Enough,” Hutchinson described Giuliani as a “wolf closing in on its prey” and alleged he slipped his hand “under my blazer, then my skirt,” according to the Guardian, which obtained an advance copy.

“I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh,” Hutchinson claimed in the book. “He tilts his chin up. The whites of his eyes look jaundiced. My eyes dart to [Trump adviser] John Eastman, who flashes a leering grin.”

“I fight against the tension in my muscles and recoil from Rudy’s grip. [F]illed with rage, I storm through the tent, on yet another quest for Mark [Meadows].”

“I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh,” Hutchinson claimed in the book. “He tilts his chin up. The whites of his eyes look jaundiced. My eyes dart to [Trump adviser] John Eastman, who flashes a leering grin.”

Hutchinson was 24 years old at the time and working as an assistant to Meadows, Trump’s then-chief of staff, when the alleged assault occurred.

In his NewsMax rant, Giuliani said Hutchinson’s groping allegation was “as crazy as a statement that the president jumped over the seat and took over the car.”

He was referring to Hutchinson’s claim from last June’s hearing on the Capitol riot in which she said former President Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the presidential SUV from a Secret Service officer in a bid to rejoin his supporters.

Hutchinson claimed Trump shouted at the Secret Service, “I’m the f–king president! Take me up to the Capitol now!”
