Rudy Giuliani announced late Friday that he was canceling an upcoming trip to Ukraine after he came under criticism for saying he planned to talk to the country’s new leaders about investigations that could boost Trump politically
Separately, the president said he felt it “would be an appropriate thing” to speak to Attorney General Bill Barr about launching an investigation into Biden, or his son, Hunter, over their actions in Ukraine. But the president said he has not done so. Still, the comment was swiftly rebuked as a trampling of the long-held norms that the White House does not influence Justice Department decisions.
The Bidens’ connections to Ukraine have become a subject of deep interest among the president’s political allies, who charge that Biden as vice president during the Obama administration pressured the Ukrainian government to oust a prosecutor in order to benefit his son. No evidence has emerged that Joe Biden was acting to assist his son, and it is not clear that the official was even probing the Hunter Biden-linked company at the time.
The Biden campaign declined to comment, but has previously said that Biden acted properly as vice president and only learned of his son’s role with the Ukrainian company through news reports. Hunter Biden has also previously said he has no connection to the investigation of the company, Burisma Holdings.
