According to TASS, according to The New York Times, federal prosecutors in New York state are investigating to find out whether former and current Ukrainian officials tried to influence the 2020 US elections.
Investigators are trying to establish whether several Ukrainian officials helped develop a massive plan to intervene in the 2020 presidential campaign, including by using Rudolph Giuliani to spread false claims about President Biden, and to give Donald Trump an electoral advantage, sources said
“The American authorities, in particular, carried out checks regarding Giuliani’s trip to European countries in December 2019. There he met with several Ukrainians, including the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Andriy Derkach, who is also a defendant in the investigation. Giuliani allegedly tried to collect incriminating materials concerning Biden during his trip”, – the newspaper notes.
Federal attorneys in New York state declined to comment on The New York Times’ allegations. The publication admits that following the results of the proceedings, the American side may seek the extradition of Ukrainians.
