New York Times: Prosecutors investigating whether Ukrainians used Rudy Giuliani to promote misleading election claims
CNN
Federal prosecutors are investigating whether some Ukrainian officials helped execute a sweeping plan to meddle in the 2020 US election, people with knowledge of the matter told The New York Times.
The investigation out of Brooklyn includes scrutiny of whether Ukrainian officials used Rudy Giuliani to spread misleading claims about then-candidate Joe Biden in an effort to bolster then-President Donald Trump's election prospects, the people told the Times. News of the criminal probe, which began during Trump's final months in office, highlights a more forceful approach from the federal government in addressing foreign election interference -- an issue that's been top of mind in Washington since US intelligence detailed an expansive Russian meddling scheme in 2016.More Related News
