Trump Denies Directing Rudy Giuliani To Conduct Ukraine Shadow Diplomacy

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING President Donald Trump denied Tuesday that he sent his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine in order to pressure the country’s government to conduct investigations into his political rivals, which is at the center of the House’s impeachment investigation into the president. pic.twitter.com/6JaP9oOLMI — TheBeat w/Ari Melber November 26, 2019 The statement contradicts public claims from Giuliani that he conducted an investigation “concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption” on Trump’s behalf. Multiple witnesses in the House’s impeachment investigation have also testified that Giuliani directed a shadow U.S. diplomacy in Ukraine with the goal of pressuring the country to publicly announce investigations that Trump wanted. Earlier this month, Giuliani told Fox News’ Ed Henry that he has a “very, very good relationship” with the president and that, addressing rumors Trump is going to “throw him under the bus,” responded, “He isn’t, but I have insurance.” The attorney also told the Guardian he has “very, very good insurance” and that “all my hospital bills will be paid.” The former New York mayor later said that the comments were “sarcastic” and that they related to “the files in my safe” on the Bidens.
