DOJ taps U.S. attorneys to coordinate Ukraine investigations

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has appointed U.S. attorneys in New York and Pennsylvania to coordinate federal investigations into Ukraine-related matters, including new information collected by President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote that Scott Brady, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, will assist in the “receipt, processing and preliminary analysis of new information provided by the public that may be relevant to matters relating to Ukraine.” Attorney General William Barr said last week that the department is taking in information that Giuliani is gathering in Ukraine about the president’s Democratic rival Joe Biden and his son. Barr’s comments came a day after Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a close ally of Trump, said Barr told him the department had “created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it’s verified.” Democrats sharply criticized the process, saying it raised serious concerns because Biden is one of Trump’s political rivals. The letter to Nadler included a memo to all U.S. attorneys and federal law enforcement heads informing them that Donoghue had been assigned to “coordinate existing matters and to assess, investigate and address any other matters relating to Ukraine, including the opening of any new investigations or the expansion of existing ones.” It directed those officials to notify and consult with Donoghue and said all new matters related to Ukraine would be directed exclusively to the Eastern District of New York.
