Diplomats Drafted Statement Committing Ukraine to Probe
“Two of President Trump’s top envoys to Ukraine drafted a statement for the country’s new president in August that would have committed Ukraine to pursuing investigations sought by Mr. Trump into his political rivals,” the New York Times reports.
“The drafting of the statement is new evidence of how Mr. Trump’s fixation with Ukraine and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories began driving senior diplomats to bend American foreign policy to the president’s political agenda in the weeks after the July 25 call between the two leaders.”
“The statement was drafted by Gordon Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union, and Kurt Volker, then the State Department’s envoy to Ukraine.”
