As Rudy Giuliani waged a public campaign this year to unearth damaging information in Ukraine about President Donald Trump’s political rivals, he privately pursued hundreds of thousands of dollars in business from Ukrainian government officials, documents reviewed by The New York Times show.
Prosecutors and FBI agents in New York City are examining whether Giuliani was not just working for the president but also doing the bidding of Ukrainians who wanted the ambassador removed for their own reasons, the people said. It is a federal crime to try to influence the U.S. government at the request or direction of a foreign government, politician or party without registering as a foreign agent.
Giuliani was critical of Yovanovitch, whom he and other Republicans have said was opposed to the president. Giuliani’s moves against her, however, were also aligned with the interests of Lutsenko, who had butted heads with the ambassador. The proposal came a few weeks after Giuliani met at his office in New York with Lutsenko to discuss Ukrainian corruption. Lutsenko told Giuliani and others about payments involving Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company that had named the younger Biden to its board, according to a memo summarizing the meetings.
Several later draft retainer agreements involved Toensing and diGenova but did not reference Giuliani.
