Kurt Volker, the State Department's envoy to settlement talks in the eastern Ukraine war, helped set up a meeting between Rudy Giuliani and a senior Ukrainian official. Mr. Giuliani wanted to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden. https://t.co/jvHc3iEcWu

Wow.
Rudy Giuliani just confirmed that the State Department helped facilitate his efforts to pressure Ukrainian government to probe Biden and DNC, NBC reports.
No comment from State yet.
Giuliani won't say whether he and Trump have discussed this.https://t.co/giXPF886LZ

JUST IN: The @StateDept, which facilitated @RudyGiuliani's communications with the Ukrainian gov't (during which he urged an investigation of @JoeBiden), says Giuliani "acts in a personal capacity as a lawyer for President TRUMP. He does not speak on behalf of the US Government." pic.twitter.com/PSJHTCyd7A
