President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani says he plans to travel to Ukraine in the coming days in an attempt to push for investigations that he says could benefit Trump.
Giuliani told The New York Times in a Thursday interview that he plans to ask the country's president-elect to look into the origin of the federal Russia probe as well as former Vice President Joe Biden's past influence on the country.
"Were not meddling in an election, were meddling in an investigation, which we have a right to do, the Trump lawyer asserted.
Theres nothing illegal about it, he added. Somebody could say its improper. And this isnt foreign policy Im asking them to do an investigation that theyre doing already and that other people are telling them to stop. And Im going to give them reasons why they shouldnt stop it because that information will be very, very helpful to my client, and may turn out to be helpful to my government.

a comedian who will be sworn in by early June, will turn The Ghoul into a national joke in Ukraine like he is in the USA.
