Bidens committed no wrongdoing in Ukraine — ‘despite Giuliani’s pleas’: prosecutor
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has admitted that former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden were not involved in any wrongdoing in Ukraine.
According to Bloomberg News, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer alleged that the Bidens had a conflict of interest while encouraging Ukrainian politicians to crack down on corruption.
just in from Kiev:
*UKRAINE PROSECUTOR SAYS NO EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING BY BIDENS
*HUNTER BIDEN, BURISMA NOT TARGETS, DESPITE GIULIANI’S PLEAS
— Justin Sink (@justinsink) May 16, 2019
“Giuliani said that Biden could have been trying to help his son’s business dealings and that Ukraine needs to investigate,” Bloomberg reported.
But as of Thursday, prosecutors revealed there were no concerns of unethical behavior.
Just days ago, a Ukrainian lawmaker alleged that the top prosecutor was manufacturing “a conspiracy” about the Biden family. Lawmaker Serhiy Leshchenko said that he was given parts of a letter written by a prosecutor who wanted to curry favor with President Donald Trump’s administration.
“The letter was sent by the prosecutor through unofficial channels to President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, the lawmaker told journalists on Monday in Kiev as he distributed copies of two pages,” Bloomberg reported.

MSNBC anchor blasts Trump’s ‘lunacy’ after ‘a Twitter tirade that sent the Dow spiraling’
The New York Stock Exchange closed down over 600 points on Friday as President Donald Trump's trade war with China escalated.
MSNBC anchor John Heilemann said, "we’re hours away for the president taking off to the G7 summit in Bairritz, France, where allies are bracing for the Trump-fueled mayhem that is now 100% certain to ensue, with Trump like a drunken traveler in the departure lounge about to take a trip that he dreads, already sewing global chaos, days-long public meltdown typically moved from words to actions."
"Donald Trump beginning this day with a Twitter tirade that sent the Dow spiraling, closing down more than 600 points today and escalating his trade war with China with these norm-shattering, power-abusing words in this tweet," he said, putting the tweet on-screen.

‘Making things worse’: National Farmer’s Union chief unloads on Trump in blistering statement on trade war
Roger Johnson, the president of the National Farmers Union, delivered a blistering rebuke to President Donald Trump after he responded to new tariffs from China by issuing a purported "order" telling American companies to look for alternative places to manufacture their goods.
In an official statement, Johnson pointed out that farmers so far have felt the brunt of the president's trade war, as China has slapped heavy tariffs on key agricultural products such as soybeans.
He also crushed the president for failing to make any progress on reopening the Chinese market to American goods.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg this week had underwent a procedure to treat a tumor from her pancreas, a court spokesperson tells Washington Post reporter Robert Barnes.
According to the Court, "the tumor was treated definitively" with radiation "and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body."
The 86-year-old Ginsburg late last year underwent surgery to treat lung cancer and she returned to the bench this past February.
