In July 2019, Rudolph Giuliani, the lawyer of ex-US President Donald Trump, called the Office of the President of Ukraine and sought from him representatives of the investigation of Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden.
This is reported with reference to the transcript of the negotiations Time.
The recording was provided by Igor Novikov, assistant to the President of Ukraine. He, like the current head of the President's Office, Andrey Yermak, was a participant in this conversation with Juliana. According to Novikov, the call from Trump's lawyer "put the ego into a state of shock."
It follows from the transcript that Giuliani did not ask for a specific service, but sought to verify Biden's son Hunter, who at one time was a member of the board of directors of the Burisma gas company, which could help Trump get re-elected for a second term.
Thus, the lawyer of the ex-president of the USA asked to continue the investigation of the criminal case and said that he "is not interested in people who lie or exaggerate." He also wanted to hear that a prosecutor would be put on the case, who would find evidence against Biden Jr.
According to the publication, three days later, in a telephone conversation with Zelensky, Trump asked him to investigate Biden and his son. Today, the American prosecutor's office is investigating these events, and at least two Ukrainian officials have confirmed that the Julians discussed with investigators in the Southern District of New York.
As a reminder, after the disclosure of information about Trump's call to Zelenskiy, the Democrats in the House of Representatives initiated the impeachment procedure against Donald Trump.
