Trump And Giuliani Were Secretly Working Against The US To Corrupt Ukraine
Trump was interested in corruption, but according to Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the president and Rudy Giuliani were trying to bring corruption back to Ukraine instead of getting rid of it.
Raskin said on MSNBC, “I think what we saw last week and what’s been coming out in the media suggests that there was indeed a very powerful shadow foreign policy being operated out of Ukraine by the president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Mr. Parnas and Mr. Fruman, the gang that couldn’t shoot and they were basically working across purposes with official government policy, which was to oppose and root out corruption in Ukraine. And they were trying to bring corruption back to Ukraine, both in terms of their corrupt business dealings, but also in terms of applying coercive pressure on the Ukrainian government to produce dirt on the Bidens. And so I think that she would have a comprehensive overview of that whole situation.”
