A senior diplomat offered a grim picture of Rudy Giuliani’s contacts with Ukraine, testifying before Congress that the president’s personal lawyer carried out a “campaign of lies” in order to oust the top U.S. diplomat to Kiev, according to new documents made public Thursday.
George Kent, a senior State Department official, told House impeachment investigators last month in closed-door testimony that Giuliani had cozied up to corrupt foreign officials and disreputable media figures to smear former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, supporting testimony from multiple other witnesses who said the campaign ultimately led to her removal in May.
