The Brooklyn federal inquiry has examined whether former and current Ukrainian officials tried to interfere in the election, including funneling misleading information through Rudolph W. Giuliani, the New York Times reports.
According to people with knowledge of the matter, the investigation is focused on current and former Ukrainian officials suspected of trying to influence the election by spreading unsubstantiated claims of corruption about Mr. Biden through a number of channels, including Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer at the time. At least one of the current and former officials Mr. Giuliani met, a Ukrainian member of parliament named Andriy Derkach, is now a focus of the Brooklyn investigation.
The prosecutor's office paid attention to Giuliani's trip to Europe at the end of 2019, where he held meetings with a number of Ukrainian officials, including Derkach.
According to the New Yourk Times, it is unclear whether Brooklyn prosecutors will ultimately charge any of the Ukrainians.
