Volker warned Giuliani's information on Ukraine wasn't credible: report
By Zack Budryk - 10/03/19 04:36 PM EDT

Former U.S. special envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker told House investigators Thursday he warned President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani that his Ukrainian sources alleging wrongdoing by former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter were not credible, according to The Washington Post.

Volker testified that he attempted to convince Giuliani that his sources, including the nation’s prosecutor general, were providing unreliable information, according to the Post, citing two people familiar with the testimony.


Volker also said he and other officials within the State Department warned Ukrainian officials against involvement with U.S. politics, saying their involvement could open them to allegations of election interference, according to the Post.

GOP: Volker impeachment testimony a dud so far

House Republicans on Thursday said closed-door testimony from Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special envoy for Ukraine, does not support allegations against President Trump that Democrats are using to launch an impeachment inquiry.

“He has said nothing that coincides what the Democrats are saying with their whole impeachment narrative,” said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee and a staunch supporter of Trump.

Jordan, who appeared alongside a group of conservative Republicans and Trump allies, declined to talk specifically about Volker’s deposition, which is continuing in a secure hearing room in the Capitol.

Jordan described Volker as “unbelievably knowledgeable about what was going on in Ukraine,” and he added, “Not one thing he has said comports with any of the Democrats’ impeachment narrative. Not one thing.”

Democrats are conducting an impeachment inquiry into Trump’s requests to Ukrainian government officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, who is running for president.

Reporters asked Jordan and the other GOP lawmakers to respond to Trump’s comments earlier Thursday that he was asking China to investigate Biden.

Jordan said he has been in the deposition with Volker for two hours.

“We don’t know what the president said and we haven’t looked at it,” Jordan said.

It's a shame, if Giuliani/Trump/John Solomon, all are wrong about this, to have made such a big deal out of this. Honestly! I mean, that's a screw-up to the max. They had to get this information straight... but in all likelihood, it sounds like young Biden's position should be investigated.

He pulled in that $50,000 or even more a month. That Ukraine situation has always had some questions about it.

   I understand your point(s) @TomSea and agree that they are valid concerns. But 2 things quickly come to my mind, The Clinton Foundation was making millions/day while she was SoS, nothing will ever be done to any of them (Hunter included) and last but certainly not least everyone in America's political climate (DNC/GOP) and pretty much the Whole Damn World, except for Putin wanted that Ukrainian Prosecutor's head on a platter back then. 
   But that was then and this is now.
