Giuliani: Trump 'relied on' his claims about ousted U.S. diplomat to Ukraine
Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, says he provided the president with information that the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine was impeding investigations that could benefit Trump politically. Within weeks, she was recalled from her post.
Giuliani said he passed along information to Trump “a couple of times” about how Yovanovitch had frustrated efforts that could help Trump, including efforts to have Ukraine investigate political rival Joe Biden.Trump, in turn, passed the information on to Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, Giuliani said. Within weeks, Yovanovitch was told Trump had lost trust in her, and she was recalled as ambassador.
“There’s a lot of reasons to move her,” Giuliani told the newspaper. He said Trump and Pompeo “relied on” his information, likely leading to Yovanovitch’s ouster last April.“I just gave them the facts,” Giuliani said. “I mean, did I think she should be recalled? I thought she should have been fired. If I was attorney general, I would have kicked her out. I mean — secretary of State.”
“I think I had pointed out to the president a couple of times, I reported to the president, what I had learned about the visa denials,” Giuliani said, as well as claims that Yovanovitch ordered one Ukrainian prosecutor to drop cases.
