(35,435 posts)I've been so curious as to the person and what the promise was; it's interesting to read the speculation of others.

-- Ukraine rebuffed Giuliani, saying it was inappropriate for them to become involved in American politics
-- Giuliani cancelled his trip, after claiming there was nothing wrong with him trying to get their help
Sorry for the lack of backup links.
