Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has scrapped a visit to Ukraine after Democrats denounced his plan to push the foreign nation to investigate Trump's rivals.
President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani, has scrapped plans to visit Ukraine after Democrats denounced his effort to push the Eastern European nation to open investigations that he hopes could benefit Trump politically.
Giuliani had said earlier that he would urge the Ukrainian government to investigate the origins of special counsel Robert S. Mueller's recently concluded probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, and the involvement of former Vice President Joe Biden's son in a gas company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch.
"My purpose was to share information to assist their ongoing investigation of Ukrainian officials being used by Americans to gather information to assist Clinton in last election and to alert them to the very real dangers that there are people involved in the investigation ... who are attempting to shut it down before it reaches a conclusion," Giuliani said in a statement.
"Explain to me why Biden shouldn't be investigated if his son got millions from a Russian loving crooked Ukrainian oligarch while He was VP and point man for Ukraine," Giuliani tweeted at Sen. Chris Murphy , who had criticized him."Ukrainians are investigating and your fellow Dems are interfering. Election is 17 months away. Let's answer it now.
