Trump impeachment: Giuliani sought help for Kiev mayor Klitschko when meeting senior Ukrainian official
When Rudy Giuliani met with a top aide to Ukraine’s president last summer, he discussed the prospect of a coveted White House meeting while seeking Ukraine’s commitment to certain investigations that could benefit Donald Trump politically.
Mr Giuliani also threw in a request of his own: help the mayor of Kiev keep his job.
The mayor, Vitaliy Klitschko, a professional boxer turned politician and longtime friend and former client of Mr Giuliani’s, was on the verge of being fired from his duties overseeing Kyiv’s $2 billion (£1.5bn) budget.
Firing Mr Klitschko would have fit with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s campaign promise to fight Ukraine’s entrenched interests and allowed him to replace a political adversary with a loyalist in one of the country’s most important posts.
