Unpublished audio reveals how Rudy Giuliani pressured Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden

Previously unpublished audio shows how Rudy Giuliani, a top adviser to former President Donald Trump, “relentlessly lobbied and convinced” the Ukrainian government in 2019 to investigate baseless conspiracies involving then-democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.. The pressures are deduced from an unpublished recording that CNN has obtained and published on Tuesday.. This is a July 2019 telephone call between Giuliani, the US diplomat Kurt Volker and Andriy Yermak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski, the US chain assures.. This call preceded Trump's call with Zelensky, and both conversations later became a central part of the first impeachment trial against the former Republican president, where he was accused of soliciting Ukrainian help for his campaign.

During the roughly 40-minute call, Giuliani repeatedly told Yermak that Zelensky should go public with investigations into possible Biden corruption cases in Ukraine and claim that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election to harm Trump, claims that are false. , according to CNN. “All we need from the president (Zelenski) is to say, I am going to put an honest prosecutor in charge, he will investigate and dig up the evidence, which currently exists and there is some other evidence about participation in the 2016 elections, and then we have to get the Biden thing over with,” Giuliani said, according to audio.. Someone in Ukraine should take that seriously,” reveals the chain..

New Audio Shows Giuliani Aggressively “Wooed” Ukrainians Into Doing Trump's Bids. The call was one of the first initiatives Trump and his allies used to harm Biden and subvert the 2020 election process, calling for foreign meddling, lying about voter fraud and attempting to reverse the results and inciting the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, stresses CNN. Giuliani has not yet been charged with any specific crime, but has been under investigation since at least 2019 in a case allegedly centering on his business dealings in Ukraine.. They seek to show that Giulani illegally lobbied the government on behalf of Ukrainian officials and businessmen, who were allegedly helping the lawyer dig up dirt on Trump's political rivals, including then-presidential hopeful Joe Biden.. Recently, the legal battle has centered on documents and data from digital devices seized by the FBI, which last April searched the home of Giuliani, also a former mayor of New York. Giuliani has so far denied all of these alleged irregularities.
