Giuliani confirmed that he has led the US relations with Ukraine, which are now at the root of an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said that the reason he became involved in US-Ukraine relations — now the root of an impeachment inquiry into Trump — is because the State Department asked him to.
"I never talked to an Ukrainian official until the State Department called me and asked me to do it," he told Ingraham."And then I reported to every conversation back to them." Business Insider has contacted the State Department about Giuliani's claims. The article, citing current and former US officials, said that some officials tried to stop Trump meeting or talking with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, for fear that he would pressure him to investigate Ukrainian business activities by Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden.
One US official told the Post that Giuliani's close involvement with Ukraine is what caused the current situation.
