Shortly before news broke about the stalled military assistance to Ukraine, Rudy Giuliani said he didn't know anything about it
It's one of the lingering mysteries in Democrats' impeachment inquiry: What exactly did Rudy Giuliani know about the abrupt hold President Donald Trump placed on military aid to Ukraine?
But despite reams of testimony from high-level officials in the White House, State Department and Pentagon, House impeachment investigators have yet to establish whether Giuliani knew that Trump had ordered the military aid to Ukraine be withheld. Many senior State Department and White House officials inside the Trump administration were aware of the hold on military assistance well before the POLITICO report. That includes two officials who had routine conversations with Giuliani, according to their testimony and text messages released to lawmakers.
"Mr. Mayor -- really enjoyed breakfast this morning," Volker texted Giuliani on July 19, in a message that CCed one of Zelesnky's top aides. "As discussed, connecting you here with Andrey Yermak, who is very close to President Zelensky. I suggested we schedule a call together on Monday."
