The committee chairmen also accused Trump of attempting to secure the prosecution of Ukrainians who provided evidence against ex-campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
A trio of House committees on Monday announced a new investigation into President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, over his interactions with Ukrainian officials and whether the Trump administration’s withholding of foreign aid from Ukraine had any underlying political motives.
Engel, Schiff and Cummings said they found the notion that Trump was enlisting his government to increase pressure on Ukraine and its justice system “in service of President Trump’s reelection campaign” especially concerning as next year’s election pulls closer. Then, in a July phone call between Trump and Zelensky, the U.S. president focused at least in part on completing investigations of corruption cases there, “which inhibited the interaction between Ukraine and the USA,” according to a readout from Kiev.
