“Somebody could say it’s improper,” Giuliani reportedly said on Thursday. “And this isn’t foreign policy — I’m asking them to do an investigation that they’re doing already and that other people are telling them to stop.
President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani is planning a trip to Ukraine in the coming days to push for probes into Democrats that will benefit the president, according to a report.
“Somebody could say it’s improper,” Giuliani explained. “And this isn’t foreign policy — I’m asking them to do an investigation that they’re doing already and that other people are telling them to stop. And I’m going to give them reasons why they shouldn’t stop it because that information will be very, very helpful to my client, and may turn out to be helpful to my government.”
When asked whether Trump knows about his intentions to meet with Zelensky, Giuliani told the Times: “He basically knows what I’m doing, sure, as his lawyer.” Giuliani’s “motivation is to try to discredit the special counsel’s investigation; undermine the case against Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s imprisoned former campaign chairman; and potentially to damage Mr. Biden, the early front-runner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination,” the Times wrote, noting that Giuliani's potential meeting comes after Trump has spent more than half of his presidency under scrutiny over allegations his 2016 campaign conspired with a foreign power.
