'All I did was defend my client': Giuliani defends role in Ukraine controversy
Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, appeared Sunday on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” to defend his role in pressing Ukrainians to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, the fallout from which has led to an impeachment inquiry in Congress.
“I am an attorney. All I did was defend my client,” Giuliani told George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" Sunday.
The debate surrounding Biden’s conduct in Ukraine dates back to 2016 and the dismissal of the country’s former prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin. At the time, Biden was leading U.S. policy toward Ukraine with an emphasis on cracking down on corruption.
He called for Shokin to be fired.
Trump and Giuliani have accused Biden of calling for Shokin's dismissal because his office was investigating Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company where Biden’s son, Hunter, had a seat on the board of directors.
But the assertion that Biden acted to help his son has been undercut by widespread criticism of Shokin from several high-profile international leaders, including members of the European Union and International Monetary Fund, who said Biden's recommendation was well justified.
