with ukraine. quote from washington post. president trump s personal attorney negotiated this deal for $200,000 during the same month he was working with the prosecutor to dig up dirt on joe biden. this was the corrupt prosecutor that wads going to be a new client. is this what rudy has been doing with his time since 9/11? even before he left the mayorship of new york. rudy giuliani had been setting himself up to be a consultant to all sorts of people who are not nice people, to be polite about it, around the world. it s been very lucrative for him. it s been fairly widely reported his firm has taken in over $100 million in fees. you look around and one of the things that s striking is who he represents and that list you gave which is far from complete but hits on the kinds of people he was representing. these are not people who are the
giuliani. he took efforts to take the president s 2020 re-election bid. there it is, that line. did what he s been accused of doing. it is impeachable. there are redactions. there are redactions, willie geist, but you look at the language here and it is it involved getting him involved in the 2020 election to dig up dirt on joe biden. and also, of course, that the president has involved it appears that the president has involved attorney general barr in this as well in the letter that went to burr and schiff. and, of course, it is extraordinarily damning that the ukrainians were led to believe that they would only get cooperation from donald trump and the united states of america if they, quote, played ball and
helped dig up dirt on joe biden. and really, clair, this underfliens more specific detail because there s follow-on investigation of what we read in the phone call yesterday, this gives us much more detail. what s interesting is the white house distributed talking points, ham handedly because they sent them to the democrats too, and part of that talking point was that zelensky brought up giuliani first. right. well, let s look at this document in that context. and let s go back to april when the president called him first after the election as matt reference and started talking about how you ve got to work with giuliani. right. then giuliani announced he was going to the ukraine. now, wait a minute. what is giuliani doing going to ukraine? and he says that the state department sent him. so talk about ensnaring a web of so pompeo now has some explaining do. exact. i and obviously they knew they brought up giuliani because
the washington post and the new york times both report that giuliani was pursuing business deals in ukraine with ukrainians officials at the same time he was trying to dig up dirt on president trump s political rivals. this according to documents and people familiar with the matter. according to the post giuliani, quote, negotiated earlier this year to represent ukraine s top prosecutor for at least $200,000 during the same months that giuliani was working with the prosecutor to dig up dirt on vice president joe biden. in an interview with the wall street journal giuliani said he decided he couldn t represent the information comes just days after wall street journal and reuters reported federal prosecutors are looking into giuliani s business dealings. jewel ya giuliani has denied any wrongdoing. on tuesday the president tried
forth was very telling, so there s enough there i think for us to really take a good look at this, but i ll leave it up to adam and jerry nadler to see where we go with this. for me i am convinced with the evidence that has been presented. you would vote to impeach the president today? i would do that, yes. you re there. the broader scope of the investigation now because we ve learned that a giuliani associate, associate of the president s personal attorney, is willing to testify that devin nunes, the ranking republican on the intelligence committee, met with a former ukrainian official wildly disparaged by our allies and the u.s., to dig up dirt on joe biden. should nunes be investigated. meeting with a disgraced prosecutor, poroshenko, not only the united states and european union but many countries across the world felt he was very corrupt, leaves a lot to be desired. we have to take a look at what that conversation was about.
