Giuliani promised to release evidence of Ukraine's interference in 2016 elections

Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, promised to publish video, testimonies and documents to confirm Ukraine’s interference in the US 2016 presidential election.

"Lesson for those who have integrity. Never, like Shiffless, make charges based on pure hearsay. I didn’t when the allegations of Ukraine illegal influence on 2016 election were presented, I got direct witnesses, video tapes and incriminating documents to prove it. Watch and Wait!" Giuliani twitted.

Previously, Trump re-tweeted an article on Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) assisting Hillary Clinton’s team to discreditTrump’s chief of staff Paul Manafort.

Artem Sytnyk, who heads NABU, argues neither he personally nor his office influenced American elections.

Giuliani, in turn, has often served as a messenger between Washington D.C. and Kyiv.

He was like a celebrity in Ukraine, the ICPS expert Mykola Kapitonenko, who now advises the Ukrainian Parliament’s Foreign Policy Committee, told the Wall Street Journal.

"Many officials think that contact or even a picture with Giuliani might be helpful for their careers. I’m not sure that’s the case but that’s the perception”, he added.

Giuliani has also communicated with Zelensky’s close aide Andriy Yermak to push the Biden-Burisma investigation. The two met in Madrid mere days after the 25th of July phone call between Trump and Zelensky.
