Scandal in the USA: Trump's lawyer admitted to pressuring Zelensky in the Biden case
US President's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, during an interview with CNN, accidentally admitted that he tried to put pressure on representatives of the Ukrainian government to start an investigation into the family of former US Vice President Joe Biden, who is involved in a number of corruption scandals in Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Giuliani said he spoke with an unnamed Ukrainian official about Joe Biden's possible role in the Ukrainian government's firing of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was leading the investigation into Biden's son.
“So you asked Ukraine to look into Joe Biden,” host Chris Cuomo asked.
“Of course, yes,” Giuliani replied.
Cuomo also included a video of Giuliani's confession.
As Media ITE notes, Cuomo asked Giuliani to comment on the story of a US intelligence officer’s complaint to the US Congressional Oversight Committee, but Giuliani tried to divert his attention from this topic.
“I’m glad I’m here tonight because what you said is absolutely wrong,” Trump’s lawyer said, then quickly recalled 2016 and stated unequivocally that Joe Biden “bribed the president of Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating the case.” regarding his son."
After a brief exchange of words, Cuomo asked Giuliani if he had asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.
“No, I didn’t actually do that. I asked Ukraine to investigate allegations that Ukrainians interfered in the 2016 election in favor of Hillary Clinton,” Giuliani said.
Cuomo asked again: “You never asked anything about Hunter Biden? Have you ever asked anything about Joe Biden from the prosecutor?
“The only thing I asked was to understand how whoever was appointed dropped the case against Antac,” Giuliani responded.
“So, you asked Ukraine to look into Joe Biden’s case?” Cuomo said.
“Of course, yes,” Giuliani said.
Joseph Biden is one of the contenders for the US presidency from the Democratic Party. Back in 2015, he claimed that his son Hunter had nothing to do with corruption schemes in Ukraine due to his presence on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings.
