Clearing House" - The text
exchanges involve Volker, U.S. special envoy to
Ukraine , top Ukrainian embassy official Bill
Taylor, Ambassador to the European Union Gordon
Sondland, Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani,
and Ukrainian official Andriy Yermak.
That’s according to
a cache of text messages released late Thursday
by House investigators
following a 10-hour interview with one of the
diplomats, Kurt Volker, who stepped down as
special envoy to Ukraine amid the Democrats’
impeachment inquiry.
Among the documents, as Fox
News reported Wednesday, are notes from an
interview Trump attorney Giuliani conducted with
fired Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor
Shokin earlier this year, in which he claimed he
was told by former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine
Geoffrey R. Pyatt to back off an
investigation involving that firm, Burisma Holdings,
and its founder. According to interview notes,
Shokin claimed Pyatt -- currently the ambassador to
Greece -- told him to handle that investigation
“with white gloves.”
Shokin said his “investigations stopped out of
fear of the United States.”
In that interview, Shokin also claimed that
former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told him
he should not investigate Burisma, “as it was not in
the interest of Joe and/or Hunter Biden.” Shokin
claimed Poroshenko told him that due to his
investigation, Joe Biden held “up to one billion
dollars in U.S. aid to Ukraine.” Poroshenko
eventually removed Shokin.
