Sometime in early August, exact date unknown, Rudy Giuliani meets with Andriy Yermak in Madrid. He continues his ongoing efforts to get Ukraine to release evidence, real or not, of corruption related to Joe Biden.
Yermak is a top aide to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Over the last few weeks, Mr. Giuliani has spoken on the phone and held an in-person meeting, in Madrid, with a top representative of the new Ukrainian president, encouraging his government to ramp up investigations into two matters of intense interest to Mr. Trump.
One is whether Ukrainian officials took steps during the 2016 election to damage Mr. Trump’s campaign. The other is whether there was anything improper about the overlap between former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s diplomatic efforts in Ukraine and his son’s role with a gas company there.
The New York Times
The meeting was arranged by State Dept. official Kurt Volker, the American envoy to settlement talks in the Ukraine war.
