President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani said that he is no longer planning to travel to Ukraine to urge the president-elect to push forward with investigations that he anticipates could help Trump's re-election campaign.
Giuliani tweeted back,"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."
In a text message, Giuliani told NBC News that what he had planned was"perfectly legal" since it would have involved an investigation. The 2020"election is 17 months away," he wrote. In recent days, Giuliani has repeatedly alleged a conspiracy involving the former vice president, who has emerged as the early front-runner in the race to be the Democratic nominee.
The"Biden story" involves the then-vice president's 2016 call for Ukraine to crack down on corruption, including removing a Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, seen as ineffective. As Giuliani has noted, one of the cases that Shokin had been investigating involved a company called Burisma Holdings. Biden's son Hunter Biden was on the board of the company at the time.
