Former diplomat Kurt Volker says Rudy Giuliani was a 'direct conduit' to Ukraine
and demanded they publicly announce an investigation into the Bidens.
In newly-released excerpts of the testimony of former US Special Representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker to Congress, Volker said that President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani served as both a "conduit" to Ukraine and demanded they announce investigations that would be politically favorable to Trump.
Volker testified as part of the ongoing impeachment inquiry into Trump, which centers around a whistleblower complaint claiming that the Trump administration withheld a $400 million military aid package in exchange for Ukraine announcing an investigation into the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma Holdings - where former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden served on the board from 2014 to 2019
For months, Giuliani played a crucial role in the administration's dealings with Ukraine and pushed both the discredited allegations that the Bidens were involved in corrupt activity, and the conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to the benefit of Hillary Clinton.
Volker testified that Giuliani was a conduit between Ukraine and Trump, personally demanded Ukraine put out a statement announcing the investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
