Before Donald Trump left office, President Donald Trump’s personal defense attorney, Rudy Giuliani, spoke of a pre-pardon for the president, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
Citing two people mentioned in the discussion, the Times reported that Giuliani expressed the same possibility with Trump as he did last week and this is not the first time he has raised the issue.
Manhattan has filed a lawsuit against Gillian over whether his work in Ukraine violates foreign lobbying laws. The attorney’s office is the center of criminal investigation through fees. In particular, federal prosecutors are said to be investigating Giulini’s business dealings in Ukraine and his involvement in the shooting of Mary Yovanovich as US ambassador to Ukraine.
Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, told the Times that Giuliani “has no qualms about this investigation, because he has done nothing wrong and that has been our position since day one.”
Yomnovich and other witnesses testified during Trump’s impeachment proceedings last year that Giuliani had launched a smear campaign against the ambassador, after he refused to allow the US embassy in Ukraine to be used in an attempt to get political clout on Joe Biden and his son Hunter. 2020 elections.
Yovonovich characterized the smear campaign against her on the basis of “false claims made by people with clear intentional motives” and said she was “shocked” and “threatened” by the attacks against her. She was called abruptly in April 2019 and ended the following month.
Giuliani’s filthy victim was part of the Trump administration’s shadow foreign-policy channel in the context of Ukraine – a top-down effort including the president’s attempt to strengthen the Ukrainian government to launch a politically motivated investigation into Bidens to help Trump’s re-elected bid. While pressuring the Ukrainian government, Trump froze significant military aid of about 400 400 million and encircled the White House meeting, which was strongly demanded by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
CNN reported on November 19 that in recent weeks, FBI agents in New York contacted witnesses to ask about the former mayor of New York’s operations in Ukraine and any possible links to Russian intelligence.
U.S. intelligence agencies warned the White House last year that Russian operators were using Giuliani to oust Trump. The warning came after interrupted communications showed that Giuliani had conversations with several people who had ties to Russian intelligence when he went to Ukraine to see the dirt on Bidens.
Among those Gilliani interviewed was Andrei Derkach, a Ukrainian national who has since been cleared by the Treasury Department, who is accused of acting as a Russian agent and spreading ambiguity about Bidens and the 2020 election. Giulini has been reluctant to accept Darkach as a Russian agent, telling the Daily Beast in an October interview that “the chance that Darkach is a Russian spy is no better than 0/50.”
A report in the Washington Post in October states that Trump was exploited by foreign intelligence and said that “he is Rudy.”
Giuliani’s relationship with Russian interests was re-published this fall, when he was in the spotlight to show “smoke-gun” emails between senior Bureisma Holdings executives about setting up a meeting with Hunter Biden and John Biden to consider the compilation of the widely discredited New York Post story. He was vice president in 2015.
Giuliani, Trump and his allies grabbed the story and said it proves that Biden misused his government’s position to close the criminal investigation in Burisma to save Hunter who was on the Burisma board at the time.
As Business Insider has reported, there is no evidence that this claim is valid, and it has been substantiated by intelligence assessments, news reports, congressional investigations and witness testimony. Shortly after the story was published, NBC News reported that federal officials were investigating whether the emails, which the Post said received the thumb drive Giuliani, were part of a foreign influence operation.
Giuliani is now leading the Trump campaign’s false legal efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The campaign and Republican officials have filed more than two dozen lawsuits but have not won a single case.
On Monday, Giuliani appeared at an event with Arizona state legislators where he accused voters of rigging and a widespread and baseless conspiracy theory about election rigging, saying the election results were evidence of being illegitimate.
On Monday, the battlefield states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia certified their election results, and cemented Biden’s victory.
Giulini pushed immediately after the release of the New York Times report on Tuesday and refused to speak to Trump about the apology.
“#FakeNewsNYT is lying again. They were never in the discussion to be falsely attributed to an anonymous source.” Wrote On Twitter. “It’s hard to put forward all their mistakes.”
