Rudy Giuliani is in Ukraine taping an anti-impeachment documentary for Trump-friendly conservative outlet
WASHINGTON — Even as Democrats intensified their scrutiny this week of Rudy Giuliani’s role in the pressure campaign against the Ukrainian government that is at the heart of the impeachment inquiry, Giuliani has been in Europe continuing his efforts to shift the focus to purported wrongdoing by President Donald Trump’s political rivals.
Giuliani is using the trip, which has not been previously reported, to help prepare more episodes of a documentary series for a conservative television outlet promoting his pro-Trump, anti-impeachment narrative. His latest moves to advance the theories propounded by the prosecutors amount to an audacious effort to give the president’s supporters new material to undercut the House impeachment proceedings and an eventual Senate trial.
The series, the first two installments of which have already aired, is being promoted as a Republican alternative to the impeachment hearings, including Ukrainian “witnesses” whom House Democrats running the inquiry declined to call. Some of the Ukrainians interviewed by Giuliani were sworn in on camera to “testify under oath” in a manner that the network claims “debunks the impeachment hoax.”
Lutsenko discussed some of the subjects into which Trump sought investigations during his interview on Tuesday with Rion, said the person familiar with the interview. The July 25 call helped trigger a whistleblower complaint about the pressure wielded by Trump and Giuliani against Zelenskiy, and the whistleblower complaint incited the impeachment inquiry into whether Trump abused his power for political gain.
“If SDNY leaks and Democrats’ threats stopped me then I should find a new profession,” he wrote in a text message on Wednesday. In a news release Tuesday, OAN indicated that the third installment of its series with Giuliani was “currently in the works with OAN investigative staff outside the United States conducting key interviews at undisclosed safe houses.” It said the network would release additional details “upon return of OAN staff to US soil.”
