Incriminating evidence against top officials of Ukraine was released in the United States

The American media found a connection between the lawyer of the US President Donald Trump and the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko.

It was reported by The New York Times.

So, the lawyer of the President of the USA repeatedly met Lutsenko to discuss investigation of the Burisma Group company.

It is noted that the investigation against the company where the son of Joe Biden Hunter worked is beneficial for Trump and his entourage. This is due to the fact that senior Biden announced his intention to run for President of the United States in 2020.

"Trump's team's efforts to draw attention to Biden's work in Ukraine, which has already been covered in the conservative media, were partially led by Rudolf Giuliani, who was Mr. Trump's lawyer during the investigation of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller," the publication notes.

Giuliani allegedly discussed the investigation of the gas company Burisma and its relationship with Biden with the former and current Prosecutor General of Ukraine.

In particular, it is reported that this year the lawyer repeatedly met Lutsenko in New York.

"The current Prosecutor General later told colleagues that during one of the meetings, Mr. Giuliani enthusiastically phoned Mr. Trump to inform him about his conclusions," the publication notes and reports that officially the lawyer does not comment on this.

At the same time, Giulianni allegedly discussed this issue personally with Trump. Trump's lawyer also claims to have intervened because Democrats conspired with Ukrainians to initiate an investigation by the US Special Prosecutor.

The owner of the company, where Biden Jr. worked, is the former Minister of ecology and natural resources Mykpla Zlochevskyi. Biden occupied a position in the Board of Directors.

The publication also links the investigation with the visit of US Vice President Joseph Biden in March 2016 to Kyiv. At that moment Biden threatened to hold USD 1 billion intended for Ukraine from the USA if the Ukrainian leaders don't dismiss theerstwhile Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. In April of 2016 Shokin was fired.

At the same time the representative of Biden argues that such a requirement was linked to corruption in the GPU and the political elite, but not to the case, where Biden Jr featured.

As it was earlier reported by "Apostrophe", the company Burisma Group will reimburse the budget tax surcharges, which the Prosecutor General's office of Ukraine (GPU) and the State Fiscal Service (SFS) revealed during the audit of activities that started this summer.
