Showing Original Post only (View all)Rudy Giuliani Cancels His Trip to Ukraine, Blaming Democrats' 'Spin' [View all]
Facing withering attacks accusing him of seeking foreign assistance for President Trumps re-election campaign, Rudolph W. Giuliani announced on Friday night that he had canceled a trip to Kiev in which he planned to push the incoming Ukrainian government to press ahead with investigations that he hoped would benefit Mr. Trump.
Mr. Giuliani, President Trumps personal lawyer, explained that he felt like he was being set up, and he blamed Democrats for trying to spin the trip.
They say I was meddling in the election ridiculous but thats their spin, he said.
Mr. Giuliani said on Thursday that he had hoped to meet in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, with the nations president-elect and urge him to pursue inquiries that could yield new information about two matters of intense interest to Mr. Trump. One is the origin of the special counsels investigation into Russias interference in the 2016 election. The other is the involvement of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.s son in a gas company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch.

Just some more of that "no collusion" that Trump keeps yammering about.
